ガイド · 個人旅行
The Yamanote is a loop, not a list. Pick west or east first, then learn Suica, let people off first, and queue on the marked side. Last trains are earlier than you think.
Tokyo first-timer
Asakusa, Shibuya and Odaiba look close; the metro still wants changes and walks. First trip: two rings. The third is a next stop.
Gates and platforms have romaji. Lock Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Tokyo, then learn exit letters.
