With 9 million daily passengers across 285 stations, Tokyo metro system is one of the largest in the world. The stations are all alpha-numerically labeled, so every station gets a letter based on the name of its line. It is by far the easiest way to navigate the city and it runs between 5am to midnight everyday.

You will receive a Tokyo Metro All-line Pass to enjoy unlimited rides on the network.
