A retired couple, Sh?kichi and Tomi Hirayama (played by Chish? Ry? and Chieko Higashiyama respectively) live in the town of Onomichi in southwest Japan with their daughter Ky?ko (played by Ky?ko Kagawa) who is a primary school teacher. They have five adult children, four living. The couple travels to Tokyo to visit their son, daughter, and widowed daughter-in-law.

Their eldest son, K?ichi (So Yamamura), is a pediatrician, and their eldest daughter, Shige (Haruko Sugimura), runs a hairdressing salon. K?ichi and Shige are both busy, and do not have much time for their parents. Only their widowed daughter-in-law, Noriko (Setsuko Hara), the wife of their middle son Sh?ji, who was missing-in-action and presumed dead during The Pacific War, goes out of her way to entertain them. She takes time from her busy office job to take Sh?kichi and Tomi on a sightseeing tour of metropolitan Tokyo.

K?ichi and Shige pay for their parents to stay at a hot spring spa at Atami. Sh?kichi and Tomi return early because the nightlife at the hotel disturbs their sleep. Tomi also has an unexplained dizzy spell. When they return, Shige explains that she sent them to Atami because she wanted to use their bedroom for a meeting. The elderly couple have to leave for the evening. Tomi goes to stay with Noriko, with whom she deepens their emotional bond. Tomi advises Noriko to remarry. Sh?kichi, meanwhile, gets drunk with some old friends from Onomichi, then returns to Shige's salon. Shige is outraged that her father is lapsing into the alcoholic ways that overshadowed her childhood.

The couple remark on how their children have changed, and they leave for home earlier than planned, intending to see their younger son Keiz? when the train stops in Osaka. Though they originally had planned to see him without leaving the train, Tomi takes ill during the journey and they decide to disembark, staying until she feels better the next day. When they reach Onomichi, Tomi falls critically ill. K?ichi, Shige, and Noriko rush to Onomichi to see Tomi, who dies shortly afterwards. Keiz? arrives too late, as he has been away on business.

After the funeral, K?ichi, Shige, and Keiz? leave immediately; only Noriko remains. After they leave, Ky?ko expresses to Noriko her anger about her siblings by deriding them over their selfishness toward their parents. She believes that K?ichi, Shige, and Keiz? do not care how hard it will be for their father now that he has lost their mother. Ky?ko believes that strangers would have been more respectful. Noriko responds that while she understands Kyoko's disappointment, she explains that everyone has his own life to lead and that the growing chasm between parents and children is inevitable. She convinces Kyoko not to be too hard on her siblings because one day she will come to understand how hard it is to take time away from one's own life.

After Ky?ko leaves for school, Noriko informs her father-in-law that she must return to Tokyo that afternoon. Sh?kichi tells her that she has treated them better than their own children despite not being related by blood. Noriko protests that she is selfish, and Sh?kichi credits her self-assessment to humility. He gives her a watch from the late Tomi as a memento. Noriko breaks down in tears and confesses her loneliness. Sh?kichi encourages her to remarry as soon as possible, stating that he wants her to be happy. At the end, Noriko travels from Onomichi back to Tokyo, contemplating the watch, as symbol of the passing of time and uncertainty of her future, while Sh?kichi remains behind, resigned to the solitude he must endure in his home in the harbor town of Onomichi.

Tokyo Story was inspired by the 1937 American film Make Way for Tomorrow, directed by Leo McCarey. Noda initially suggested the plot of the older film to Ozu, who hadn't seen it. Noda remembered it from its initial release in Japan. Both films depict an elderly couple and their problems with their family and both films depict the couple travelling to visit their children. Differences include the older film taking place in Depression era US with the couple's problem being economical and Tokyo Story taking place in post-war Japan, where the problems are more cultural and emotional. The two films also end differently. David Bordwell wrote that Ozu "re-cast" the original film instead of adapting it.

The script was developed by Yasujir? Ozu and his long-time collaborator K?go Noda over a period of 103 days in a country inn in Chigasaki. Ozu, Noda and cinematographer Y?haru Atsuta scouted locations in Tokyo and Onomichi for another month before shooting started. Shooting and editing the film took place from July to October 1953. Filming locations were in Tokyo (Adachi, Ch??, Tait? and Chiyoda), Onomichi, Atami and Osaka. Most of indoor scenes were shot at the Shochiku ?funa Studio in Kamakura, Kanagawa. Ozu used the same film crew and actors he had worked with for many years. Actor Chish? Ry? said that Ozu was always happiest when finishing the final draft of a script and that there were never any changes to the final draft.

Tokyo Story was released on November 3, 1953 in Japan. The following year Haruko Sugimura won the Mainichi Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the eldest daughter Shige.

It was screened at the National Film Theatre in London in 1957. It is Ozu's best known film in both the East and the West. After the success of Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon at the 1951 Venice Film Festival, Japanese films began getting international distribution. However Japanese film exporters considered Ozu's work "too Japanese" and unmarketable. It was not until the 1960s that Ozu's films began to be screened in New York City at film festivals, museums, and theaters.

In 1958, it was awarded the first Sutherland Trophy for the most original and creative film. UK critic Lindsay Anderson wrote that "It is a film about relationships, a film about time, and how it affects human beings (particularly parents and children) and how we must reconcile ourselves to its workings."

After a screening at the New Yorker Theater in 1972, it received rave reviews from several prominent critics who were unfamiliar with the film or Ozu. Charles Micherer of Newsweek said it was "like a Japanese paper flower that is dropped into water and then swells to fill the entire container with its beauty." Stanley Kauffmann put it on his 10 Best list of 1972 and wrote "Ozu, a lyrical poet, whose lyrics swell quietly into the epic."

The film holds a 100% "Fresh" rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 42 critical reviews, with an average score of 9.7/10. John Walker, former editor of the Halliwell's Film Guides, places Tokyo Story at the top of his published list of the best 1000 films ever made. Tokyo Story is also included in film critic Derek Malcolm's The Century of Films, a list of films which he deems artistically or culturally important, and Time magazine lists it among its All-Time 100 Movies. Roger Ebert includes it in
