Getting Around TokyoTokyo has one of the most extensive mass transit systems in the world. It is clean, safe and efficient - and confusing. The confusion arises from the fact that several distinct railway systems operate within Tokyo - the JR East network, the two subway networks, and various private lines - and different route maps show different systems.
Make your booking for the Tokyo Subway pass (24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour - only for foreign visitors) and enjoy unlimited subway transportation during your stay. This can be used on both Tokyo Metro & Toei Subway Lines. |

The defining rail line in Tokyo is the JR Yamanote Line, which runs in a loop around central Tokyo.
Almost all inter-regional JR lines and private lines start at a station on the Yamanote line. JR's lines are "Color-Coded", and the Yamanote is Green. While the JR Yamanote Line is not a subway line, due to its importance as a major transportation artery in downtown Tokyo, it is usually featured on subway maps. JR East has a good English Information Line: 050-2016-1603. |

The private lines are useful for day trips outside the city, and are slightly cheaper than JR.
Among them, the most important to visitors is arguably the Yurikamome which offers great views on the way to the island of Odaiba. If you are using a smartphone you can benefit from a free, official Tokyo Subway Navigation Application available in the app stores. It works offline and has Multi-language Interface, including English. It is very useful for quick route searches, but its lookup seem to be time-optimized and not cost-optimized. |
