The subway is the easiest and fastest way to get around Tokyo, and it's very safe. Any point in the center of the city is hardly five minutes walk from the nearest subway station.

How To Buy A Tokyo Subway PassSubway tickets are sold from automated vending machines. The ticket vending machines have an English language option.The prepaid cards are rechargeable 'smart cards'. Prepaid fare cards are convenient and I highly recommend them, although they don't give you any discounts. If you don't buy a Prepaid Tokyo Subway Pass you will be spending a lot of time trying to figure out Tokyo subway fares which are based on distance, without much assistance in English. There are two major Tokyo subway prepaid cards: Suica, and Pasmo. They can be used on just about every subway, train and bus line in Tokyo (with the exception of the Shinkansen and some express trains). There is an initial ¥500 deposit that you pay when buying the subway card, this fee is refundable when you leave. How To Use The Subway In TokyoSwipe the Pasmo/Suica card over the card reader on the gate.When you swipe your ticket, it will display the amount of cash left on your card. On the platform - line up behind the white line which indicates where the doors will open. At the exit you swipe your card again.

You can find your exit number easily on the vicinity maps which are located on the platforms and after exiting the fare gate. Subway workers are also very willing to help.
