Traditionally, the Tokyo Metro (東京地下鉄 Tokyo Chikatetsu) is divided into two carrier operators: 1) Tokyo Metro (東京メトロ) and 2) Toei Metro (都営地下鉄) . The largest passenger traffic in the world is on the Tokyo subway (approx. 20 million people per day).
On the left is the Tokyo Metro icon (東京メトロ) , on the right is the Toei Metro icon (都営地下鉄) , as well as the Tokyo Symbol “Green Leaf Ginko”
Tokyo subway prices range from 160/170 to 310 yen depending on the distance from station to station. By the way, on the map of the Tokyo metro the prices are indicated right next to the names of the stations from the boarding location.
The metro operates from 5 am to 1 am.
The Tokyo metro is a little more difficult to understand than the Moscow metro, because... we have a “ring” from which you can get anywhere, a fixed price and ONE metro company. Since the Tokyo Metro is divided into 2 companies: Tokyo Metro (東京メトロ) and Toei Metro (都営地下鉄) , some problems may arise, but more on that later.
The subway in Japan is not very deep, and sometimes some stations are even located on the ground. When compared with the Moscow Metro, the “depth” in the Tokyo Metro is not felt at all.
Large subway stations are quite rare in Japan.
Basically, all stations are heavily bleached white, which creates a “spacious” effect.
Subways in Tokyo are equipped with elevators, just like JR. Disabled people, old people, people with luggage and simply tired people can take advantage of this opportunity.

Tokyo Subway Owners
Nowadays the Japanese subway includes 13 lines. Nine of them are operated by Tokyo Metro. This is an important feature because transfers to lines operated by the city government (Toei) almost always require a different ticket. The owners of the subway changed, some of the lines remained in municipal ownership. The last privatization took place in 2004.
The owners try to cooperate in order to provide as much convenience as possible to consumers. Now there are travel tickets on sale that give the right to use the entire metro (for example, the PASMO transport card, the Common One-day Ticket, as well as the Tokyo Combination Ticket, you can use a Suica payment card).
But there is also normal competition between campaigns. Thus, a Toei (municipal company) ticket gives the right to use electricians and buses operated by it.
Grounds for processing personal data
4.1. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is:
4.1.1. Legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of personal data
based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation and international treaties of the Russian Federation and consisting of Federal Law of July 27, 2006 No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data” and other federal laws defining cases and features of the processing of personal data;
4.1.2. consent to the processing of personal data, the conditions of which are confirmed
by the subject of personal data in writing, when working with the feedback form on the Operator’s website, when using the Operator’s website;
4.1.3. any agreements concluded by the Operator, annexes to these agreements.
A little history
The history of the Tokyo Underground began in 1920 with the establishment of the Tokyo Underground Railway Company. In 1925, the first work began on the section between Asakusa and Ueno, and already on December 30, 1927, the first trains were launched on the line between these two stations. In 1939, the subway connected to the railway line, and today major subway stations offer connections to commuter trains, Shinkansen lines, monorails, and other forms of transportation. In 2004, Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd was founded, replacing the former Teito Rapid Transit Authority. It is a private company operating 168 stations on 9 lines. The remaining 106 stations on 4 lines are operated by Toei, the municipal transportation department. Toei is not only a subway, but also a public transport system.
Terms of processing and storage of personal data
6.1. The processing of personal data is terminated by the Operator upon achievement of the goals of such processing, as well as upon expiration of the period provided for by law, contract, or consent of the subject of personal data to the processing of his personal data. When the subject of personal data withdraws consent to the processing of his personal data, processing is carried out only to the extent necessary for the execution of contracts concluded with him and for the purposes provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

What you need to know about the subway in Tokyo. Behavior rules
The basic rules do not differ from the usual ones - we wait for the train at the white line, first the passengers get off - we let them through, then we get on ourselves... But there are “highlights” that you need to know about.
1. WOMEN ONLY CARS cars are intended from the beginning of the metro working day until 9.30 am only for women, children, disabled people and accompanying persons. This was done so that they would not suffer from the crush during rush hour.
2. Priority seats - seats for passengers with children and disabled people.
3. It’s better not to use your phone on the subway. If you are near Priority seats during rush hour, you may be asked to turn it off. .

Japan Subway: Rush Hour
Rush hours on the Tokyo subway are 7:00-8:30 am and 6:00-9:00 pm. At this time, it is better not to go into the Tokyo subway, especially in the very center. Also, I do not recommend using the Tokyo subway on Friday nights (especially at stations like Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc.), because...
The closer it is to the “last train”, the more they will be filled with a crowd of half-drunk workers coming from corporate events.
That's all I wanted to tell you about the subway in Tokyo . In the following articles “Metro Japan” we will talk about other subways in Japan.

How to navigate
The Tokyo subway is operated by two major operators: Tokyo Metro and Toei. When you enter the station you will see the logo of one or the other. Remember the name of the station and its number (for example, E18, where the letter indicates the Oedo line, and the number is the serial number of the station on the line). For added convenience, subway lines are distinguished by color and the color of the line matches the color of the outline around the number.
The cost of the trip is calculated according to the tariff schedule (in English) next to the ticket machines. This can also be done in advance for Tokyo Metro lines on the official website and for Toei lines at www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp. All tickets are purchased from vending machines; there are no “live” cashiers in the Tokyo subway. If you still travel further than planned, you can pay the difference in ticket price at the exit by placing the ticket in a special device (Fare adjustment machine). The ticket must be passed through the turnstile both at the entrance and exit from the station. The used ticket will remain in the bowels of the turnstile, but the all-day pass can be used multiple times.
At some stations you will have to go through additional turnstiles even if you are transferring from one Tokyo Metro line to another, in which case use the orange turnstiles. The transfer should not take more than half an hour. A special map of the surrounding area will allow you to choose your preferred exit from the station. Once you have decided on the exit number, follow the signs.
