Introducing the rest area "Tokyo Station | Interior | Silver Bell Meeting Place" at 東京駅徒歩0分.

ペン太
We've actually investigated, so let's take a closer look!
The Silver Bell is located on the B1F of Tokyo Station.
I took a picture of the map inside Tokyo Station.
The red arrow indicates the "Silver Bell meeting place"!
You can access it via the stairs and escalators near the Yaesu ticket gates.
"So...where are those stairs and escalators?" you might ask!
To get to the Silver Bell meeting place, first, head towards the Yaesu ticket gates!
Pass the Shinkansen ticket gates and go straight towards the ticket gates.
Then you'll arrive at the following location.
B1F is a floor called Gransta, where you can find souvenirs and sweets shops.
So, look for the "GRANSTA" signs and the "delicious things..." markings on the pillars as landmarks.
Go in the direction of the red arrow and go down the stairs or escalator!
Then you will come out to the passage like above.
Follow the red arrow along the wooden wall!
"Wait a minute, I'm already on B1F, how do I get there?"
If that's the case, head towards the Yaesu Underground Central Gate!
This is the ticket gate. You'll probably reach the Silver Bell on your way to the Yaesu Underground Central Gate.
By the way, the opposite side of the image above is the wooden passage from before, so the ticket gate to Yaesu is very close to the Silver Bell!
Then you'll see the "Silver Bell" housed in a glass case.
It's located in the center of the passage, so it's easy to spot from afar!
And, in front of the Silver Bell, there are wooden benches that can accommodate about 80 people.
It's a spacious rest area, perfect as a meeting spot in Tokyo Station.
The floor subtly features an old map of the Tokyo Station area.
As for the congestion in the rest area, it tends to be crowded on weekends and holidays.
But since there are many benches, you should be able to avoid not being able to sit due to overcrowding.
By the way, I visited this rest area around 11 p.m. on a Friday...
It's a regular wooden bench, but it has handrails attached so you can secure your private space.
You can lean on the handrails and sit down, making it easy to use for the elderly.
In some places, the benches are narrow, but if you're at the front or the end, you can fit a suitcase.
You can use it to take a break inside Tokyo Station or while waiting for the Shinkansen.
Also, there is a "View Square meeting place" nearby that has table seats, so please use it as well.
Update information
October 4, 2018 I checked the congestion on a weekday Friday at 7:30 a.m.!
So, why not use it as a resting place to meet up in Tokyo Station?
