Steps for Riding the Tokyo Metro

If it's your first time taking the subway in Tokyo, don't worry at all! The system here is very clear and tourist-friendly. Just follow the simple steps below, and you'll be traveling around like a local in no time.

1. Confirm the subway entrance

The Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway logos

Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway logos (Source: nicethings.space)

  • Every station has a Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway logo at the entrance.
  • If there's only one logo, it means that station only serves lines from that specific company.
  • If you see two logos, it means the station is shared by both Metro and Toei.

2. Find the train line you need

Signpost

Directional sign (Source: fun-japan)

  • Once you're inside the station, keep an eye out for the overhead signs that clearly display the "color" and "line code," such as G (Ginza Line) or M (Marunouchi Line).
  • Most signs are in both Japanese and English, making them easy to read—no need to worry about getting lost!
  • Follow the arrows to the platform for the line you want to take.

3. Check the platform and train direction

  • On the platform, you'll find an illuminated sign displaying the final destination of the next train.
  • Make sure the train you're about to board is heading in the direction you want, such as “Shibuya direction” or “Asakusa direction.”
  • Always stand in an orderly line and wait for passengers to get off before boarding.

💡 Pro tip: If you're not sure which side of the platform to board from, check the route map on the wall or use the Tokyo Metro App, which shows routes and train directions in real-time. It's super easy to use!

  • While waiting for the train, please stand in line at the designated spots. When the train arrives, always wait for passengers to get off before boarding.
  • If you're unsure about the route or platform, feel free to check the station maps or just use the Tokyo Metro app!

Prohibitions

  • Please refrain from eating or talking loudly while on the train.

Tokyo Subway Operating Hours

Tokyo's subway lines, including both Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway, typically run from around 4:30 AM until about 12:30 AM the following day. However, operating hours for each line and station may vary slightly, especially during the early morning and late at night.

💡 Pro tip: Before you head out, I recommend checking the latest schedules via the Tokyo Metro App or Japan Travel (Navitime). They show the first and last train times in real-time, so you can plan your trip back to your accommodation without missing the last train!

Getting around Tokyo isn't as hard as you might think! Just keep the metro map handy, know how to buy tickets, and use a navigation app, and you'll be exploring all the famous districts like a pro. Plan ahead a little, and your Tokyo trip is guaranteed to be convenient, cost-effective, and fun from the very first step onto the subway.

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center
The hotel's location and surroundings are excellent. The only minor inconvenience was having to walk all the way around to access the garden downstairs; I'm not sure if we just missed a more direct entrance. On our second day in Tokyo, we experienced a typhoon with strong winds and heavy rain, but the soundproofing in the room was so good we couldn't hear a thing – it was incredibly quiet. Getting around was also very convenient, as it's close to the subway station, making it easy to reach popular areas like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza.

Highly recommend the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier in Tokyo! The room offered an amazing view, perfect for enjoying the bustling city lights at night. It's just a few minutes' walk to Shimbashi Station, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The sky lobby is quite unique, service communication was smooth, and the room was clean and tidy. Its Ginza location makes shopping and dining effortless. Definitely my top choice for a Tokyo trip.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
I brought my parents to Tokyo, and we managed to snag a discount at the Imperial Hotel, booking two connecting rooms. It was a great experience to soak in the old-money vibe of this classic hotel. The hotel facilities aren't brand new, but the stay was incredibly comfortable. Each room had a great view, with a table and chairs by the window perfect for enjoying the scenery. Although it's right next to the railway tracks, the soundproofing was surprisingly excellent. With the subway stopping at night, our sleep was completely undisturbed. Compared to most hotels in Tokyo, the room size was very generous, so two people didn't feel cramped at all. The shower experience in the bathroom was particularly good, with a three-function rain shower head and ample water pressure, making showering a real treat. The hotel doesn't have self-service laundry, and the laundry service isn't cheap, but it's a reasonable price compared to hotels of a similar caliber. The hotel is quite large, with several restaurants and shops inside, art installations everywhere, and carpets throughout, creating a wonderfully atmospheric place to wander around. The large fresh flower arrangement and chandelier at the main entrance, which might not look as stunning in photos, were still breathtaking to see in person. The breakfast was very good. While the variety wasn't extensive, the quality was consistent and the taste was excellent. The service level was very high, with staff being both elegant and enthusiastic. The location is a major highlight: a side exit leads directly to a lively food street, and it's just a 3-minute walk to Ginza for shopping. The main entrance faces Hibiya Park, with no shops obstructing the view around, making it very convenient for taxis. Overall, it's highly recommended for family trips.

Suidobashi/Tokyo Dome Tokyo|3.75km from city center
It's been 10 years since I last visited Japan. Originally, I thought I'd have to stay in Ginza for some last-minute shopping before heading back. However, it turned out to be a small Golden Week in Japan, and even the ridiculously tiny 4-star hotels in Ginza were more expensive than this place. After my travel companion and I stayed here, we regretted not having chosen it sooner. It's only a 20-minute drive from the city center, and there are plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. Most importantly, the rooms are spacious and the service is excellent. Next time I visit Tokyo, this will definitely be my first choice for accommodation.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.29km from city center
Given its prime location, you can't expect both spaciousness and a cheap price. The value for money is decent. However, the room felt stuffy and relied solely on the air conditioning, which created a stale smell, as if it had been closed up for a long time. I had to keep the AC on low. I'm unsure about the cleanliness of the duvet; my legs were incredibly itchy for the first half of the night. It only got better after I turned the AC much lower in the latter half. One of the pillows had a strong, hard-to-describe oily head smell. There was also a noticeable accumulation of dust in some corners. The service throughout was genuinely cold. Despite my fluent Japanese, there wasn't a single smile, which is quite unusual for Japan. Perhaps working in Ginza is truly exhausting. They didn't mention the complimentary beer and coffee that was advertised on Ctrip. Ms. Akiko at the front desk, this kind of service really isn't acceptable in the hospitality industry. If you feel so wronged by your job, maybe you should find a different one.

The hotel has been recently renovated, so it's very clean and quiet. They offer daily room cleaning. However, the breakfast isn't great. For 3000 yen, which is about 137 RMB, it's a rip-off. We stayed for 5 days and it was the exact same every morning. Besides some toast and salad, there were no fried eggs or pastries. There was hardly anything else edible. It would have been better not to book a room with breakfast. There's a 7-Eleven and Lawson downstairs, which offer much better value for money!

The room size was decent, and it was quite clean. The hotel's location isn't far from Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line, which makes getting around convenient. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby. I booked a comfort triple room, but they initially gave me a standard triple. I had to go back to the front desk to communicate, and then they switched me to the comfort triple, and there was quite a noticeable difference between the two rooms.

Had a fantastic stay! The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the Rinkai Line, making it incredibly convenient for getting around, especially to Disney. The room facilities were well-equipped, and the cleanliness was top-notch; there were no unpleasant odors. Breakfast is served on the first floor. We stayed for five nights and went at different times, but on three of those days, we encountered a queue. If you're in a hurry, you might want to factor in some extra time.

Excellent! I booked a triple room, which was quite spacious for Japan. The housekeeping was meticulous, and the beds were neatly made. The lobby is large, and they even provide amenities like combs and hair ties for guests to take. Breakfast was also good, mainly Japanese and Western style. The hotel's back exit leads directly to Tokyo Tower. We had unagi (eel) for dinner at Tokyo Tower, and even though it started raining afterward, the hotel was just a couple of steps away, which was incredibly convenient.

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from city center
Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller. Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad. I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate. Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from city center
This hotel offers direct access to the Yurikamome Line's Odaiba Station from its second floor, and is within walking distance of the life-sized Gundam statue and Odaiba Marine Park. A complimentary shuttle bus to Disneyland is provided, and Haneda Airport is just a 20-minute drive away, making transportation highly convenient. All room types feature private balconies, with ocean view rooms directly facing the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay's night skyline. The room sizes significantly exceed those of similarly priced hotels in central Tokyo. For families with children, amenities for kids are proactively provided upon check-in, ensuring excellent comfort during your stay. The facilities are well-maintained, and both Chinese and English services are seamless. There's a complimentary gym and multiple restaurants on-site. The drawbacks include the hotel's age and the fact that the pool requires an additional fee. It's also a bit further from the central city shopping districts. Overall, this hotel is ideal for guests who prioritize exploring Odaiba, appreciate scenic views and spacious accommodations. High-floor ocean view rooms are highly recommended.

The room size was excellent; it wasn't cramped for two people! We could easily open two or three 28-inch suitcases. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and all the toiletries were L'Occitane. The shower pressure was also great~ The complimentary bottled water in the room came in aluminum bottles.

The 7eleven in the hotel was the icing on the cake! We also were able to utilize the Poppins onsite daycare although this is run independently and you should book well in advance of your trip as only 1 day that we requested was available for booking. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.42km from city center
Relabo Hotel boasts an excellent location right next to the JR station. From the station's third floor, there's a direct walkway leading to an elevator that takes you straight to the hotel's 4th-floor front desk. It's incredibly convenient. Nearby, you'll find the Apple Factory and the Nebuta Museum, and downstairs there's a department store for shopping and dining. A highlight of the hotel is its hot springs, and they also offer some yoga activities, though we didn't participate as we don't speak Japanese. Guests can enjoy the hot springs for free, and female guests are personally escorted into the bathing area by staff, which feels very safe. After a soak, you can grab an ice cream or head to the observation deck to enjoy the view with some crackers and apple juice – a truly leisurely holiday experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with ample space for luggage, offering city views and a glimpse of the ocean bridge. The scenery at sunset was particularly beautiful. The staff were all very pleasant, especially the restaurant staff during breakfast, who were absolutely outstanding!

The room was quite spacious for Tokyo standards, and the hotel's public areas were also beautiful. The shuttle service to Meguro Station was very convenient.

The teppanyaki restaurant on B2, however, was just okay – not particularly recommended.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.35km from city center
The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable, right next to Tokyo Station. You don't even need to go above ground; there's a dedicated hotel elevator in the Otemachi exit underground, which is incredibly convenient. However, if you're transferring to other subway lines, expect about an 8-minute walk for most of them. Also, a heads-up: the front desk is on the 7th floor, but there's a hotel sign on the ground floor for taxi drop-offs. Since the hotel is right by Tokyo Station, you have easy access to all sorts of food, drinks, and shopping, which is why I didn't bother with the hotel breakfast. I could sleep in every day and try different local delicacies. Even the FamilyMart convenience store had amazing food options. It's an older hotel that was renovated last year, but the facilities are complete, clean, and comfortable. What I particularly liked was the shower setup; unlike some hotels where you shower inside the tub, here they have a separate shower space next to the tub. This design makes the bathroom feel quite spacious, even if the room itself is on the smaller side. I've seen this kind of bathroom design in other Japanese hotels too, so I wonder if it's a common feature in local accommodations. The front desk staff spoke good English, and I was very satisfied with their luggage storage and early check-in services. Plus, you need your room card to operate the elevators, which adds to the security. I was out and about from morning till night, so I didn't get a chance to experience the restaurant or bar, but overall, the value for money is high. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo! It's perfect for anyone who values convenience, loves shopping, and isn't too particular about room size.

It was 5:30 PM in Otemachi, Tokyo, and a massive halo, like a holy light, enveloped the area, reflecting the silhouette of the world's most beautiful CBD on the glass facade of Otemachi Tower. Perched atop this magnificent skyscraper, Aman Tokyo, which stunned the world a decade ago, remains an unparalleled benchmark for modern city hotels. |The soaring 30-meter high atrium, crafted with washi lanterns, wood textures, and concrete and rock, creates a 'dry landscape' garden in the urban clouds. |The view facing the Imperial Palace is arguably Tokyo's most beautiful skyline (it ruthlessly trumps the already impressive view from the neighboring Bulgari). |While the ambiance at Arva, the Italian restaurant on the other side of the lobby, is superb, the food wasn't to my taste. I'd recommend the Aman Cafe on the first floor, a glasshouse enveloped by the 'Otemachi Forest' oasis instead.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from city center
[HOSHINOYA Tokyo: A Vertical Ryokan Experience] HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers a truly unique concept. It is a traditional Japanese ryokan built vertically within a modern skyscraper, located in the prestigious Otemachi district. It provides a serene, luxurious escape right in the middle of the bustling city, perfectly blending classic ryokan hospitality with world-class modern design. We enjoyed a wonderful three-day, two-night stay at the property from 29 May to 31 May. We chose not to make any meal reservations, which gave us the flexibility to simply relax and explore the surrounding city. [Getting There] We travelled from Fufu Hakone via a day trip to Enoshima and Kamakura. We took a direct train from Kamakura to Tokyo Station, followed by a short walk to the hotel, and arrived at around 8:00 PM. To make the transit completely effortless, our luggage was picked up and delivered directly to the hotel by LuggAgent on the same day. [Arrival and Check-In] The hotel is situated in the central business district and distinctly stands out from the surrounding buildings. The discreet entrance completely shields you from the busy streets. Upon entering, staff immediately store your shoes, as the entire tatami-matted building operates on a barefoot or socks-only policy. We were incredibly lucky to catch a traditional jap instrument performance, which is usually reserved for weekends. A designated staff member managed our check-in with welcome snack & tea and escorted us to level 15. A major highlight is the exclusive lounge on each floor, shared by only 6 suites. It functions as a private living room, fully stocked with complimentary seasonal teas, coffees, and traditional snacks. [The Suite] We stayed in the Sakura suite. Rather than trying to describe the beautiful layout in words, I will let my photos speak for themselves. The beds are low to the floor with a mid-level hardness that we found quite comfortable, and each bed comes with two soft pillows. There is also a television cleverly hidden behind a mirror, though it is worth noting that it only broadcasts Japanese channels. We kept it switched off to maintain the consistent traditional ryokan feel. The provided yukata is absolutely superb. It comes as a full set complete with an inner layer, an outer layer, socks, and a small handbag. The material is soft, stretchy, and incredibly comfortable for lounging and walking around the property. [The Top-Floor Onsen] Having a natural hot spring in central Tokyo is a rare luxury. The onsen is located on the 17th floor and features a stunning design where the roof is open to the sky. As cameras are strictly prohibited, you will have to visualise it or check the hotel website for gallery photos. I understand that the bath is a salty hot spring containing a high concentration of seawater and seaweed minerals trapped deep in the ground. Soaking in this soothing water gently embraces the skin and helps alleviate fatigue in both body and mind. The onsen is open daily from 3:00 PM to 11:30 AM. It was the absolute perfect way to warm up and recharge before we headed out for a busy day. [Areas for Improvement] Toothbrush Set: The provided toothbrush is far too small and takes ages to use. I strongly recommend bringing your own.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.36km from city center
Pros: the duty manager Mai who is fluent in English and demonstrated outstanding attentiveness and a genuine dedication to hospitality. She took the time to truly understand my specific needs and thoughtfully arranged the perfect room for me. To be quite honest, this level of personalized care and attention to detail is something rarely encountered in the hospitality industry nowadays. I was both deeply impressed and delightfully surprised by this experience. Cons: regarding the housekeeping service during my stay, While I appreciate that the bedsheets were changed diligently, the overall cleanliness and attention to detail have been highly disappointing. Instead of clearing the room, the housekeeper consistently left trash behind after cleaning. Day1 The housekeeper actually stuffed a piece of paper waste into the room card slot. Day 2 The trash remained unclean. Day 3 The housekeeper even left their own dirty cleaning towel right next to the bathroom sink. (see the picture) As a guest, I expected a high standard of hygiene and professionalism, but these incidents have made my stay quite uncomfortable.

Roppongi Tokyo|3.16km from city center
I had a pleasant stay at remm Roppongi. The staff were very polite and helpful throughout our visit. We arrived earlier than check-in time, and they kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the lobby, which was very convenient. The lobby area also has a nice selection of amenities that you can take as needed—it's a thoughtful touch. The room itself was clean and tidy, though quite compact, which is typical for Tokyo. There was a simple massage chair in the room, which was fun to try out after a long day of walking. The view from the window was simple. The location, however, is excellent—just a 2-minute walk from the metro station, making it super easy to get around. Overall, a solid choice for a short stay in Roppongi.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.13km from city center
Walkable distance to Tokyo Station character street, really convenient to start shopping right away. The service was great until checkout, we called the front desk asking for late checkout arrangements and the staff agreed to delay the checkout time to 11:30am. When we got down to the reception, there was only one staff and another couple were checking out so we just waited patiently at the back. They took quite some time and some more customers were queuing behind us for check out. When it came to our turn, the female staff immediately changed her smile to poker face and accused us for being late as the time was already 11:40am even though we clearly arrived earlier than that. She wanted to charge us extra but we insisted. Her attitude was very rude and made us feel super uncomfortable.

Ueno/Asakusa/Senju/Ryogoku Tokyo|3.85km from city center
The Gate Hotel Ryogoku by HULIC was the best hotel I've ever stayed in! The staff were very friendly and efficient, the breakfast buffet was incredible, the rooftop lounge was a nice bonus, the twin room was spacious, and the location was great - it was a very quiet area with a beautiful (and free) garden just across the street, a picturesque river right beside it, and a short walk to the train station that was one stop away from a station that can connect you to the rest of Tokyo.
