Together, they encompass much of central Tokyo, particularly the territory enclosed by the Yamanote Circle, the neighborhoods surrounding Ginza, and the territory to the left of the Loop Line. The route to Meiji Shrine begins a short distance from either Meiji-jingu-mae Station on the Chiyoda and Fukutoshin metro lines or Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line.
