http://www.distantlands.com The Tokyo Metro is one of the largest subway systems in the world with over 13 lines and 290 stations. This video will give you step by step instructions on how to use the Tokyo Metro. #DISTANTLANDS #TRAVELTIPS #TRAVEL
Can the JR rail pass be used for the metro system? If so, do you need to get a ticket for the station you want to go to or can you simple hop on a train?
I have been to Tokyo for the first time last year. My boyfriend and I bought each a ticket in the morning – spent the day at the desired destination and bought a ticket to go back to hotel in the evening. we been there for 8 days. Next year we are going for 15 days. Would you suggest us to buy a Suica? (as tourists??) Would this be more convenient?
Only Subway(Tokyo Metro & Toei Subway) are consist 13lines. There are more 70 Metro lines operated by JR East[JR東日本] and other 16 railway companies! There are more than 80 lines in Greater Tokyo Area with 19 different subways consist of more than 6000 km long (London underground metro systems are about 400km length) and more than 40 millions use those a day!
Tokyo Metro has nine lines. The other four are operated by Toei Subway with its own fare structure and turnstiles. Buying a day subway pass, you have to be aware that railways may have through service connecting to the suburbs. You have to pay additional at a fare adjustment in stations beyond the subway terminal. John Daub from Only in Japan did a video when he used a day Toei pass ending up from Asakusa Line branching to Shinagawa which is now the Keikyu Line.

Pasmo and Suica are basically Oyster and Contactless cards
I think I'll just take a taxi.
In Paris subways can run every 30 sec. at rush hour. But in the biggest city in the world every 3mins are enough…

What if you have a Japan Rail pass that I purchased in the USA before coming to Japan?
3:31 Or, if you're going to use the metro a lot during your stay, consider a pass to save money.
Im getting a Suica pass👍. That ticket machine confuses me 😭
If my trip is over where can I go to recieve a refund for my suica card? The 500 ¥
I see a lot of JR trains in this video, haha.
Music a bit too loud, hard to hear your voice. Anyway, thanks for the information. Very helpful. 👍
