Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The subway system operates efficiently year-round, but travelling during off-peak hours between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM is highly recommended to avoid the notoriously crowded morning and evening commuter rushes. Spring from March to May and Autumn from September to November offer the most pleasant weather for exploring above-ground attractions once you exit the stations.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the stunning symmetrical architecture and futuristic lighting of newer stations like Tokyo Station's underground platforms or Roppongi's Oedo Line terminal.

• Photography is generally permitted in stations for personal use, but always avoid using flash and never take photos that invade the privacy of fellow commuters.

• Snap a picture of the unique, artistic station entrance signs and the iconic Metro logo to document your urban transit journey.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When riding the Tokyo Metro, it is customary to queue neatly on the marked spots on the platform and allow passengers to exit the train before boarding. Keep your voice down, avoid talking on your mobile phone, and set your devices to silent mode to respect the quiet and peaceful atmosphere preferred by local commuters.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• During the cherry blossom season in late March and early April, the Metro runs special late-night services on select lines to accommodate hanami flower viewing parties.

• In winter, major stations like Omotesando and Marunouchi are beautifully illuminated with spectacular light-ups, making evening subway rides a festive experience.

• During the New Year holidays, trains operate 24 hours or with extended schedules to allow locals and tourists to visit shrines for hatsumode, the first shrine visit of the year.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Always stand behind the yellow tactile paving lines on the platform while waiting for the train to arrive.

• Mind the gap between the train and the platform when boarding and alighting, especially at older stations where the gap might be slightly wider.

• Keep your belongings secure and close to your body, as crowded trains during peak hours can be an environment for pickpockets, though violent crime is extremely rare.
