Tokyo subway: What time are the last trains?

Question

Obviously after a night on the town in Roppongi or Shibuya, Ill need to get back to my hotel...what time do the subway trains in Tokyo run until?

What time do they resume in the morning?

Answer 1

When you get off at your train station, you should check the timetables, which should be posted on the platform, to find out the time of the first and last trains.

Generally, they are grouped into rows, with each row showing an hour, followed by minutes. So if a row says:

6 04 10 17

There will be trains at 6:04, 6:10 and 6:17.

If there are two groups of timetables shown, usually the one shown first is the weekday timetable, and the other is for weekends/holidays.

Answer 2

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and the place where over 13 million people live, making it one of the most populous cities in the world but also, a big city to visit, find out more with hotelbye . Most of the city was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and then again by the bombing in the WWII, however, Tokyo was able to achieve a remarkably rapid recovery both times. The main attraction of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace with its beautiful 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and moats. The palace is still in use by the Imperial family.

Answer 3

A lot of folks just stay out until the trains start around 05:00. If you stay in the club till 04:00 (the joint should still be jumping at that hour) or so, and then go for ramen or whatever it's all good. The clubbers don't really come out until 22:00 or so, so that's the usual practise.

Answer 4

Hanzomon Line

Answer 5

There is railway map in every station. It is not that complicated to read and it is available in English too. Or the easiest way, just tell any of the station officer or ask someone from the hotel. The Japanese are friendly and helpful, you know.
