The Tokyo subway system is a vast network of 13 lines, effortlessly connecting you to every corner of the city. This comprehensive system is made up of the Toei Subway (4 lines) and the Tokyo Metro (9 lines), making it easier than ever to explore Tokyo.

Did you know that Tokyo's two metro networks are run by different operators? While they work seamlessly together, the Tokyo Metro and the Toei Subway are managed by separate entities: Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd., and the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, respectively.

The two work hand-in-hand, creating a seamless experience for travelers by integrating services across key areas, even while maintaining their own unique operations.

Ticket Vending Machines (Source: tokyocheapo.com)

You can easily pick up regular subway tickets from the multilingual machines found at any subway station, though keep in mind this can sometimes be a bit of a hassle and end up costing more. Fares are calculated based on the distance you travel rather than the specific route or station. Just a heads-up: since Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway are operated by different companies, you'll need to purchase separate tickets for each.

Tokyo Metro fares range from 180 to 330 yen (about $1.58 to $2.90 AUD), while Toei Subway tickets are just a bit more, ranging from 180 to 430 yen (about $1.58 to $3.78 AUD).

Ready to hop on the Metro? Here’s how you can easily purchase your ticket at the station:

  1. Locate a Ticket Machine: Keep an eye out for a ticket vending machine inside the station. They’re designed to be super easy to use and are usually clearly signposted to help you on your way.
  2. Buy Your Ticket: Simply use the ticket machine to purchase your ticket. Helpful instructions are available, and you can easily switch the language in the upper right corner of the screen to whatever suits you best.
  3. Ready to ride? Head over to the automatic gate with your ticket in hand. Simply insert your ticket into the yellow slot, grab it as it pops out, and breeze through the gate to enter the subway system. Be sure to hold onto your ticket—you’ll need it again to exit at your destination station!

Every trip adds a unique touch to life. We repeat the same routine day after day, and over time, life becomes like a faded painting. A trip is like repainting that painting. You'll remember the sound of the mountain wind whistling through the trees, the coolness of the stream splashing on your feet, and the aroma of cooking wafting from the night market. These small fragments, pieced together, are the most vibrant parts of life. Even after a long time, recalling these moments will still bring a smile to your face, making you realize how interesting life truly is.

The viewpoint at the summit was definitely worth it. The mountain road was well-maintained, making the drive up easy. The platform was spacious, so there was no need to squeeze for a spot to take photos. Standing there, you could see the entire mountain scenery, with layers upon layers of views, clouds drifting around the mountain peaks, and a cool breeze blowing. Even if you were tired from the climb, standing there for a while made you feel refreshed. The sunset was especially beautiful, making it well worth the special trip.

As someone who regularly writes accommodation reviews, I've seen too many "miracle hotels" hyped up by marketing, but this one truly impressed me with its genuinely exceptional experience. Staying here is more than just providing a bed to sleep in; it's about comprehensive and meticulous care for both body and mind. From the softness of the linens to the quietness of the ventilation system, and the traceability of ingredients for every meal, every detail is meticulously crafted, without a trace of perfunctory work. After a full day of experience, lying in bed reflecting on all the details, I couldn't find a single fault. It doesn't rely on hype or marketing to grab attention; it stands firm on its solid strength, making it an absolute top choice for accommodation. It fully showcases true excellence and extraordinary style to every guest.

This time, my friend and I traveled together and chose this small hotel hidden in the old town's vibrant atmosphere. After checking in, we both exclaimed that we made the right choice. Outside, there's a bustling market and old alleys, full of life and energy, but stepping into the hotel, a sense of tranquility instantly sets in, and we even unconsciously lowered our voices. The hotel isn't large, but it blends the traditional elegance of southern Fujian into every detail: a few local antiques are displayed on an old stone table in the courtyard, the walls are decorated with traditional red bricks, and even the curtains are made of coarse indigo-dyed cloth that sways gently in the breeze. Our double room wasn't large, but it didn't feel cramped at all: there was plenty of space between the two beds, and a small shared tea table was set up by the window, where we could brew tea and chat while looking at the bamboo shadows outside. Even the wardrobe handles were made of old copper, with a warm luster worn by time. The most delightful surprise was the hotel's communal courtyard. At night, the owner would light a few small lanterns, and we and other guests would sit around them, drinking tea and listening to the faint sounds of people from the distant city, all while surrounded by tranquility. It turns out that the best poetic dwelling is never about being isolated from the hustle and bustle, but about guarding such a small world amidst the noise, where elegance is hidden within a small space, making even the time spent traveling together exceptionally touching.

Feeling stifled by the daily grind of 9-to-5, I specifically chose this hotel tucked away in an old town alley. The moment I turned into the alley, I felt the breeze was freer than the air outside my office building. The hotel entrance wasn't a cold glass door, but two old wooden doors. When I opened them, the wind chimes tinkled, and the fragrance of bougainvillea from the courtyard rushed in, instantly washing away the exhaust fumes of my commute. Our room had a small open-air balcony. In the afternoon, I'd pull up a small stool, let the wind tousle my hair, and hold the complimentary agar jelly from the hotel, watching the elderly stroll leisurely in the alley and the children chase cats. The room windows didn't have security bars; they could be fully opened, so I didn't need to close them at night. The cool night air seeped into my bed, making even my dreams feel light and carefree. I used to think that only going to faraway places counted as traveling, but this time I discovered that finding the right hotel, without having to travel far, can completely transform the daily stuffiness into the fragrant breeze of a journey.

5/5
Stepping outside, I discovered the world was far wider than I'd imagined while trapped in my current position. I'd thought that wall marked the boundary of my vision, but once I crossed the threshold, even the horizon became blurred. The wind rushed in from all directions, no longer just entering through that single window. It carried different humidity levels and temperatures—some tinged with the saltiness of the sea, some with the stench of earth, some with the warmth of distant cooking smoke. These scents intertwined, creating a complex atmosphere called "freedom." It finally allowed my spine, stiffened by the constraints of the cubicle, to find a comfortable angle to stretch. I looked at the roadside... Wild grasses grow in all sorts of unbelievable ways. They don't follow the patterns set by the gardener, but twist and turn freely with the wind and sunlight. This unruly and vigorous vitality is more awe-inspiring than any carefully pruned potted plant. I realized that what I thought was "correct" in the past was just a self-imposed limitation within a narrow framework. The breadth of the world lies not only in its geographical vastness, but also in its capacity to accommodate countless undefined possibilities. In this breadth, my insignificant worries were instantly diluted into a speck of dust in the air, drifting away with the wind, leaving only a heart that has become humble and open.

Rafting in the summer is such a refreshing way to beat the heat! The riverbanks are lined with tall trees whose canopies shade the entire waterway, preventing you from getting unbearably hot. The drops vary in size; on calmer sections, you can stop to chat, enjoy the scenery, and splash each other with water. On more thrilling sections, the splashing water is incredibly refreshing and cool. Lifeguards are on duty at every bend, ensuring safety. After your rafting trip, you can enjoy a bowl of freshly brewed hot ginger tea at the entrance, which completely cools you down and makes you feel refreshed – so much more enjoyable than sitting in air-conditioned comfort in the city!

Shinjuku is Tokyo's most iconic and bustling commercial district and transportation hub, ranking alongside Shibuya and Ikebukuro as one of Tokyo's "Three Sub-Centers." Centered around Shinjuku Station, the world's busiest station, it's home to government offices, skyscrapers, department stores, and Japan's largest red-light district. 🏙️ Main areas: West Exit (Skyscraper District): Home to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, offering free observation decks with panoramic views of Tokyo. East Exit (Bustling Commercial District): Lined with department stores, including the famous 3D giant calico cat statue, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (Imperial Garden), and vibrant shopping streets. Kabukicho: Located north of the East Exit, it's a renowned nightlife district in Asia, with the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower being a recent hotspot. South Exit: Connects Shinjuku Takashimaya and the Shinjuku Tourist Information Center, and is also a stop on the N'EX Narita Limited Express, which provides direct access to Narita Airport.

Shinjuku Ward is often thought of as just an office district or a downtown area, but if you actually walk around, you'll be surprised by its charm! First of all, it's an irresistible area for food lovers. From long-established Japanese restaurants to popular sweet cafes and international restaurants where you can enjoy cuisine from all over the world, there are so many famous restaurants to choose from. The areas around Shinjuku 3-chome and Golden Gai are especially recommended for people who love to go out and eat! And it may be surprising, but there are many places where you can feel nature, such as Shinjuku Gyoen and Toyama Park. It's a mysterious and luxurious feeling to be able to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons right next to the skyscrapers. Even though you're right in the middle of the city, there are moments when you suddenly feel relaxed. I think the greatest charm of Shinjuku Ward is the exquisite fusion of this "delicious food", "nature", and "urban convenience"!

Shinjuku, Tokyo: A Must-See! A Perfect Blend of Bustling Culture Shinjuku is the pinnacle of any Tokyo trip! During the day, you can browse department stores like Isetan and Lumine, as well as drugstores and trendy brands. At night, it transforms into a city that never sleeps, with the izakayas of Golden Gai and the neon lights of Kabukicho creating a vibrant atmosphere. We recommend visiting the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building's observation deck for free panoramic views of the city, and on clear days, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance. The Japanese gardens of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden are beautiful year-round, especially during cherry blossom season, when the scenery is truly breathtaking! Transportation is incredibly convenient, with direct access to the JR Yamanote Line, making everything within easy reach. From ramen to wagyu beef, the food options are endless! The only downside is the crowds on weekends, so avoid peak hours! 🌟

The hotel's location is great, right next to the commercial district, just across the bridge. The service was very warm and attentive; even though I don't speak English, the front desk patiently explained everything. For breakfast, there were at least three different dining areas with a wide variety of cuisines, though it leaned more towards Western styles. It was a very heartwarming trip, and I'll definitely consider this hotel again next time! The wagyu beef downstairs was excellent, and the price was, well, top-notch too, haha.

I stayed for three nights and I think it was pretty good. It's a bit of a walk from Shimbashi Station, and the first night it was pouring rain, so it was a bit messy, but I finally made it to the hotel (they offer free umbrella rentals). The room was very clean, and I really liked that the shower and bathtub were separate. It's very close to Ginza, less than a 10-minute walk to the main street. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from downtown
The Imperial Hotel was the last stop of our Tokyo trip. Initially, I didn't hold high expectations, figuring the hotel was quite old with a dated look. To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the biggest highlights of the trip. We arrived rather early. During check-in, the staff noticed my daughter's birthday from her passport. Later, when I asked about paying to upgrade our room, for just around 500 RMB extra, they upgraded us to a suite—such a pleasant surprise! Although the hotel has some years under its belt, the interior is exceptionally well-maintained. From the lobby and the rooms to the subtle service details, everything felt so comfortable without any sense of being run-down. I especially want to mention the value for money. The previous hotel we stayed at in Roppongi had a similar price tag to the Imperial Hotel, but the grandness of the lobby, the room size, and the overall stay experience were worlds apart. Even though the Imperial Hotel is a historic establishment, its meticulous upkeep and top-notch service completely make up for any sense of age in its architecture. This stay completely changed my view of the Imperial Hotel, and it's a Tokyo hotel I would gladly recommend to others.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.18km from downtown
This hotel is perfectly located right across from Ginza Mitsukoshi. I booked a twin room, and it was a good size; we could easily open two 28-inch suitcases without any issues. The room was very clean, and the amenities were excellent. While I could occasionally hear some street noise at night, it wasn't a major problem, as location and cleanliness are my top priorities. The only drawback was during my 7-day stay when, one morning, the front desk called me. Their English was really poor. I tried to explain that I hadn't requested a wake-up call or room cleaning, and that I wanted to sleep, but she said she didn't understand and then hung up without an apology! Later, I went down to the front desk, and the staff member there was very friendly. She explained that the colleague who called had already left and that it was likely a wrong number, then sincerely apologized. I really urge the hotel to improve staff training on customer service, especially over the phone. Even though it was just a call, I could clearly sense the impatience from the front desk! Thank you.

If you're a Hilton Diamond member, definitely don't book through Trip.com, otherwise, you won't get any upgrade benefits. The main issue is that I've always been able to use them in the US. If I hadn't thought I could get an upgrade, I would have chosen the Imperial instead of coming here. Trip.com should also have a disclaimer in their description. Plus, I stayed for three days, and on the second day, after I came back from shopping, neither my room key nor electronic key worked. Keep in mind that at Conrad, you have to take two elevators to get from the entrance to your room, and they assigned me a room furthest from the elevator. I had to drag a bunch of shopping bags all the way to the front desk to get a new room key. At breakfast in the morning, I ordered à la carte, and they completely forgot my order. Everyone around me had finished eating, and when I asked the server, she had forgotten about it! All in all, the service at the Imperial is still better~

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from downtown
I've stayed at the Hilton Tokyo Bay and the Hilton Osaka Umeda before, both of which were good experiences. However, the Odaiba location this time left the deepest impression. It's directly connected to the Odaiba Station on the Yurikamome Line, and with Aqua City and DiverCity Tokyo Plaza nearby, dining and shopping are incredibly convenient. From the hotel, you can see the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, and the views are stunning both day and night.

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from downtown
The hotel is showing its age. The location is decent—just a short walk out of the hotel and across the street from the massive Shinagawa Station. The occupancy rate of this hotel is very high, and it gets quite crowded. The elevators are separated by floor numbers to improve efficiency. There are self-service check-in kiosks, though for some reason our self-check-in failed this time. An elderly staff member fiddled with the computer for a long time, and it took us a full hour to finally check in, without ever knowing the reason why. The room facilities are dated and a bit worn out, and unlike newer hotels, there is no separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. We booked a twin room; it’s not very large, and we had to move the chair and round table out of the way to barely manage to lay open two large suitcases. You can catch a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower from the window. Also, there are far too few power outlets in the room—just one on the desk, one in the bathroom, and one by the TV cabinet. With two of us needing to charge our phones, power banks, and smartwatches, we had to take turns doing so.

Tokyo Tower Area Tokyo|2.41km from downtown
I was impolitely treated by the lobby staff during check out. Everything during the stay was great, until we brought our luggage to the lobby and I was looking for the express checkout box. Failing to found one, I asked one of the staffs (shown in photo) politely about the express checkout boxes, he swiftly pushed me away and ask my to queue up at the check out with a very inpatient attitude. His colleague and his manager apologised for him while he was hiding at the back office after I complained. This is not any customer should have been treated, especially with this level of hospitality and pricing. Won’t be return to this hotel again and I strongly suggest the hotel to refine their training for their staffs.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.31km from downtown
Everything was great, but the main thing is that at this price, the amenities and service are simply incredible value for money. I decisively booked this hotel again when I returned. The breakfast was quite rich; I've never stayed anywhere else for just over 200 yuan with such a breakfast offering.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from downtown
[HOSHINOYA Tokyo: A Vertical Ryokan Experience] HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers a truly unique concept. It is a traditional Japanese ryokan built vertically within a modern skyscraper, located in the prestigious Otemachi district. It provides a serene, luxurious escape right in the middle of the bustling city, perfectly blending classic ryokan hospitality with world-class modern design. We enjoyed a wonderful three-day, two-night stay at the property from 29 May to 31 May. We chose not to make any meal reservations, which gave us the flexibility to simply relax and explore the surrounding city. [Getting There] We travelled from Fufu Hakone via a day trip to Enoshima and Kamakura. We took a direct train from Kamakura to Tokyo Station, followed by a short walk to the hotel, and arrived at around 8:00 PM. To make the transit completely effortless, our luggage was picked up and delivered directly to the hotel by LuggAgent on the same day. [Arrival and Check-In] The hotel is situated in the central business district and distinctly stands out from the surrounding buildings. The discreet entrance completely shields you from the busy streets. Upon entering, staff immediately store your shoes, as the entire tatami-matted building operates on a barefoot or socks-only policy. We were incredibly lucky to catch a traditional jap instrument performance, which is usually reserved for weekends. A designated staff member managed our check-in with welcome snack & tea and escorted us to level 15. A major highlight is the exclusive lounge on each floor, shared by only 6 suites. It functions as a private living room, fully stocked with complimentary seasonal teas, coffees, and traditional snacks. [The Suite] We stayed in the Sakura suite. Rather than trying to describe the beautiful layout in words, I will let my photos speak for themselves. The beds are low to the floor with a mid-level hardness that we found quite comfortable, and each bed comes with two soft pillows. There is also a television cleverly hidden behind a mirror, though it is worth noting that it only broadcasts Japanese channels. We kept it switched off to maintain the consistent traditional ryokan feel. The provided yukata is absolutely superb. It comes as a full set complete with an inner layer, an outer layer, socks, and a small handbag. The material is soft, stretchy, and incredibly comfortable for lounging and walking around the property. [The Top-Floor Onsen] Having a natural hot spring in central Tokyo is a rare luxury. The onsen is located on the 17th floor and features a stunning design where the roof is open to the sky. As cameras are strictly prohibited, you will have to visualise it or check the hotel website for gallery photos. I understand that the bath is a salty hot spring containing a high concentration of seawater and seaweed minerals trapped deep in the ground. Soaking in this soothing water gently embraces the skin and helps alleviate fatigue in both body and mind. The onsen is open daily from 3:00 PM to 11:30 AM. It was the absolute perfect way to warm up and recharge before we headed out for a busy day. [Areas for Improvement] Toothbrush Set: The provided toothbrush is far too small and takes ages to use. I strongly recommend bringing your own.

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|5.44km from downtown
I chose this hotel because of its location (10-15 min walk from nearest train station) and the onsen. There is a 7-11 conveniently located right across the hotel which is perfect for a quick breakfast / supper. The hotel’s onsen operates from 6AM-10AM and 3PM-2AM. It was so nice to take a dip in the warm onsen and enjoy the Tokyo skyline after a full day of walking. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a hotel in Shinjuku area that offers some peace amidst the hustle and bustle!

Ueno/Asakusa Tokyo|5.55km from downtown
This isn't our first time staying at the Onyado Nono chain. We've previously stayed in Nara. The hotel is located in the Asakusa area, a 5-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple. The rooms are very clean. Natural hot springs with black water are available. After bathing, they offer ice cream. Complimentary evening noodles are also included. The breakfast is excellent – tuna and salmon roe!
