This video shows Introduction to Tracks of JR Tokyo Station.
I walked from Marunouchi Central gate towards Yaesu Central gate.
Perhaps watching this video will make it easier for you to change trains at Tokyo Station.
Platform 1 and 2 are for the Chuo line.
It is convenient to take this train to go to Shinjyuku where the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office is located, Kichijyoji, Hachioji and Mt.Takao.
Platform 3 is for the Keihin Tohoku line north.
This line runs from Shinagawa Station to Tabata Station through the same station as the Yamanote line.
Platform 4 is Yamanote line Inner Tracks.
Yamanote line Inner Tracks goes around counterclockwise at the center of Tokyo.
Next to platform 4, there is a staircase that goes basement.
Government Office is located, Kichijyoji, Hachioji and Mt.Takao.
Platform 5 is Yamanote line Outer Tracks.
Yamanote line Outer Tracks goes around clockwise at the center of Tokyo.
Platform 6 is for the Keihin Tohoku line south.
Since it is in the same platform as the Yamanote line, it is convenient to change the train.
Platform 7 and 8 are Ueno/Tokyo line, Utsunomiya line, Takasaki line and Joban line.
Utsunomiya line is bound for Utsunomiya, Tochigi pref. through Ueno, Urawa and Omiya.
Takasaki line is bound for Takasaki and Maebashi, Gunma pref. through Ueno, Urawa, and Omiya.
Joban line is bound for Mito, Ibaragi pref. from Ueno and Nippori through Matsudo and Kashiwa, Chiba pref., and there are limited express trains.
Platform 9 and 10 are Tokaido line.
Ueno/Tokyo line and Tokaido line are bound for Yokohama through the main station, and there are also limited express trains for Izu.
After passing platform 10, you will see the Shinkansen platform.
The ticket gates for the Tokaido Shinnkansen bound for Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the Tohoku Shinnkansen for Sendai, Aomori and Hakodate, the Joetsu Shinkansen bound for Niigata and the Hokuriku Shinkansen bound for Nagano and Kanazawa are located on both side of this central passage.
Tokyo station is very large and complex.
I woud be happy if this video was a little helpful.
