Hi Josh,
Could l please ask your assistance.
I am trying to determine if there is any wheelchair access to Bakurocho rail station on JR Line.
My wife & I are coming to Japan/Toyko in MAR-APR24, and staying for 4days at Toyoko Inn Tokyo Nihombashi Bakurocho. We will need access to the JR rail network for easy connections & this station is close to our hotel.
I have found out so far, that Bakurocho station does not have an elevator from ground level to ticket gate floor level (B1F), but does have an elevator from ticket gate floor level to the below platform level. Elevetor in Bakurocho station – japan-guide.com forum
There may be an underground walking/wheeling tunnel connecting Bakurocho station to Bakuro-yokoyama station-S09 (on Toei Shinjuku line). There is an elevator from ground level down to Higsahi-nihombashi station-A15, and wheel along that lower level-B1F to find the tunnel connection. -??

My information is from these hyperlinks within this message (hope they work for you), pls refer.
The Welcome Suica train map shows a drawn link between those 3 stations. -?? Major railway and Subway Route Map : Metropolitan Area (jreast.co.jp)
The JR customer support info does not go down that deep for that particular station. JR-EAST:Guide Maps for Major Stations (Bakurocho Station) (jreast.co.jp) Also the ‘Easy Outing JR web site confirms no-access at Bakurocho station to upper ground. Station & Terminal Information | Easy Outing Net (ecomo-rakuraku.jp)
So; l wondered if you knew or felt this information may be correct about a connecting walkway tunnel, from one station network to another -??
