JR (Japan Railway)
Japan Railway (JR) operates the most-extensive rail network in Tokyo, including the famous Yamanote Line, which connects major stations such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Tokyo. JR provides exceptional connectivity to suburban areas and other cities.
Tokyo Metro (Subway)
Tokyo’s subway system runs nine lines, identified by color and letter (e.g., Ginza Line = G, Marunouchi Line = M). The system efficiently covers central Tokyo, making it perfect for tourists exploring bustling districts.
Toei Subway
Tokyo’s subway includes a system of four lines: the Asakusa Line, Mita Line, Shinjuku Line, and Oedo Line. The Oedo Line, in particular, connects many popular tourist destinations, offering great convenience to tourists.
Private Railways
In addition to JR and subways, among others, Tokyo is also home to many private railways. Using a private railway not only expands your sightseeing options but also widens your travel range and provides convenient access to detour locations.
