Tokyo Metro

Reviewed By toddmcd17 - Phoenixville, United States

The Tokyo metro is fantastic and the best way to move around the city. Buy your ticket at your hotel so you can get the discounted all day ticket. The stations are named but use the numbers, it makes it super easy to tell which train to get on and which stop to hop off at. I also highly recommend using google maps as it expertly guides you for which train, which direction, and even which car is best based on where you are going after you leave the metro. It does get crowded at times but it’s usually more than manageable/comfortable.

Takaotozan Cable Car

Reviewed By PhilippeJean - Ottawa, Canada

The cable car is the steepest in Japan and is one of the three ways to go to Mt Takao. There’s a chairlift or people can also go to the top by walking. The cable car is 930¥ return or 480¥ one way. It takes less then 10 min. to go to the top. From there you need another short walk (depending on the weather, icy pathway in winter) where if you’re lucky will be greeted by an a,axing view of my Fuji and Tokyo. It’s an extremely popular hike for family so best to go during the week if you like peace and quiet. Highly recommend.

Mt. Takao Chairlift

Reviewed By Wolin

The lines for the cable car were too long so we took the chair lift both ways. The view coming down was awesome. Getting on and off is easy and lots of help is provided. Much better than walking.

Toei Streetcar(Toden) Arakawa Line(Tokyo Sakura Tram)

Reviewed By TheWard

Riding this street car from beginning of end is a great way to while away a day (or half-day) in parts of Tokyo that few tourists see. Liking train travel or unique modes of transport helps. So if you like the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) in Kamakura, you will love this. Get a day pass and jump on and off at points that look interesting along the way. There's backstreets and laneways to explore, Sugamo (the grandma's Harajuku), and Minowabashi shopping mall, along with a million other places. Discover unique sweet shops and eateries. You will find online guides which tell you what to look out for at each stop or if you like the look of somewhere, just get off and explore and then jump back on. We made the mistake of using our Suica card and spent quite a bit of money jumping on and off, so get the day pass.

Odakyu Electric Railway

Reviewed By 690ericaf

Its a good train if you need to get to Hakone. Japan known for its train system, is really one of the best when it comes to connectivity and reducing travel time. suggest getting the Hakone day pass as it covers many other modes of transport within hakone as well.
