About this experience
Tokyo runs the most complex rail network on earth, and most visitors only use it to get from A to B. Here the network IS the destination: descend the deepest subway station, ride the busiest line at rush hour, take the front seat of the driverless Yurikamome over the bay, and learn to buy tickets, top up a Suica and read transfer boards the way locals do.
✓ What you get
- ✓English-speaking railway-enthusiast guide
- ✓All train fares during the tour
- ✓A topped-up Suica card to keep using
