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.

The Access Narita - JR Bus Kanto

Reviewed By TicToc13 - London, United Kingdom

An efficient, convenient, comfortable and low cost way of getting from Tokyo Station to Narita airport. Bought my 1000 Yen ticket on-line, arrived an hour early (worried unnecessarily about finding the bus stop), and they simply put me on the next bus. Took an hour to Terminal 2. . If you are on the Imperial Palace side of Tokyo station (ie the west side) take the passage way underneath the station via the main entrance and head towards the Yesau North exit. The Daimaru building provides a marker. Cross the road (it is signposted) at the lights and head left for some 70 metres. Buses leave every 20 minutes or so. But only one large case per passenger in the hold.

Hakone Tozan Railway

Railroad buffs in particular will enjoy a ride on this small train, which includes two stretches, the more scenic of which is Hakone Yumoto to Gora.

We chose the cable car on the way home as we caught the bus up the hill on the way in and didn’t get to experience the amazing greenery of sights up and down the mountain like you can on the cable car. It may add an extra half an hour to your trip down the mountain - but well worth it.

After getting the train down from Tokyo, you pass through the turnstiles and use the pasimo card to get around. This train takes you along the bay to easy access for the giant Buddha.

Don't need to look to hard to find this railway is great. Lot of small stations and scenery to be seen here. They do have a Steam Locomotive that is operational. and if your at Goi Station you can see 3 locomotives parked behind the main office and shed area.
