"never been to" to me has a different meaning than physically being in a place. I've passed through Tokyo a number of times on flights and trains, but I'd say I've never BEEN TO Tokyo because I've never been anywhere in the city other than the airport or train station. I've been physically in Tokyo a number of times, but never got to experience the city, so I've never "been to it."

Semantics, I guess. I wouldn’t disagree that an airport or train station stop wouldn’t qualify as a visit to a specific place, but traveling by train through the countryside on my way to Tokyo would count as being in the region to me.
