Tokyo Metro Guide
Tokyo Metro Guide
The Tokyo metro can be a confusing system to navigate.
Here is a basic Tokyo Metro Guide to help you get around:
There are multiple lines and multiple train systems on the Tokyo metro.
If you switch lines in the middle of a journey, you usually have to exit the gates and buy a new ticket, then enter the gates of the next line.
Always pay for your ticket one leg of your journey at a time.
Otherwise the ticket collecting machine will eat your ticket and you will lose the extra fare on the card.
Make sure to get a Tokyo metro map from your hotel concierge that lists all of the stations in English.
Stops on the Tokyo metro are numbered, which helps you know how many stops are left until your destination.
