知られているよーで意外と知られていない情報を載せます。

As mentioned above, all most all staffs at Seibu-Tamagawa Line (and probably most stations around Japan...) cannot speak English at all. Use this chart to communicate with them.

USEFUL!! : English train route map with JR, Subway, Private lines in and around Tokyo downtown!

The JR has the lines for middle or long distance, which leads to the suburbs, neighbouring prefectures, and eventually to the other parts of Japan.

Other private railway lines (or so-called "Shitetsu") run on areas without JR lines, to connect their terminals in downtown with suburbs.

Subway lines run within downtown area of Tokyo, especially inside the loop-shaped JR Yamanote line. Some of them have direct service that go through JR and private lines.

Here's the map for train lines in and around Tokyo. (some smaller stations are not shown in this map)

Just as trains in other countries, you'll take four steps: A. Buy tickets, B. Pass the ticket gate, C. Take trains, D. Exit the ticket gate. Here, I'll explain to you the every step of your way.

Unfortunately, there are a very few route maps or fare charts, or even time tables written in English in many stations. And all most no staffs there speak English. So, you should check these pieces of information before leaving.

Use this site to check for your route and fare. It's a train search engine in English. (For other areas of Japan, use this site.)

2. Buy tickets (If you have SUICA or PASMO cards with enough fare stored, skip to the next step)

First, look for the button or sign saying "English". As for the machines with electronic screen, the button may be on the edge of the screen. Then, the buttons and signs on the machine will turn into English.

Second, choose the fare you need to pay. You may be unable to pay all the way to your destination. Try to choose the station as far as you can on the same operator (railway company) on the way. Or, try pressing "Transfer Tickets" to look for your the lines you're changing to.

Third, toss coins and/or insert the bills. The ticket will come out with your change.

For SUICA/PASMO card users (explained below), if you're not sure whether you have enough fare recorded in your card or not, press "English" and then press either "Charge" or "PASMO" on the ticket vending machine. Then, insert your card. The amount of your fare will appear on the screen. To add the fare, choose the amount. To finish, press red cancel button.

Many signs on the walls or the ceiling have English translation on them. Look carefully to find the right platform.

Directions of the trains are usually written as "For XX (station name)". Look at the route map, and see if the train coming to the platform goes to your direction.

At platforms, there should be some bulletin boards that tell you the departure time and the destination of the trains approaching. The signs should turn Japanese and English from time to time.

Some lines have more than one type of trains, such as Rapid, Express, or Local. Trains other than Local may skip some stations on the way, so check for the fastest train that stops at your desination. You can also change to Local train after taking faster trains on your way.

Some trains have English public announcement, or bulletin boards with English message (usually above the doors). If not, look at your route map, or look at the signs on the station platform through the window to know where you are.

As for manners on the train, stand clear of the doors if you could not find any seats. If you have to stand close to the doors, get out of the train once to let people exit the door to the stations. Sit close to each other so that more people can take seats. Eating and drinking on the train are usually considered rude.

Also, try to give away seats to old people or people in need of priority seats. Some cars on some lines will become for ladies only on rush hours.

If you're changing to other lines, look for the signs to find the right platform. If you're also changing the operators, you need to go through designated "transfer gates" or go through exit once.

If it's your destination, then look for the exit. If there are a few exits, there should also be maps or lists of neibouring places that tell you the right exit.

At many exits, ticket adjusting machines are near the ticket gates. If you haven't paid enough to get off at the station, use the machines to adjust the fare. At exits without adjusting machines, or when you get an error at the gates even though you have paid enough, go to the desk with staffs inside to ask for help. This list might be helpful to communicate with them

These are the types of pre-paid fare cards available in the Kanto region (in and around Tokyo).

You can store the fare for the amount of \1,000 to \20,000 in these plastic cards, and use as many times as you wish until you use up the amount. Once you used it up, restore the fare in the same card.

SUICA and PASMO work roughly the same, and both can be used on all most all train & subway lines, buses, and in some shops in the Kanto region. But there are slight differences between them:

SUICA: Sold and managed by the JR. It can be used not only in the Kanto region, but also on the JR lines in other areas: for example, Sendai, Niigata, Hokkaido (Sapporo), Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto), Hiroshima.

PASMO: Sold and managed by the group of private railways & subways. It can be used only in the Kanto region.

So, if you'd like to use it in other parts of Japan, SUICA is the right choice. It's available only at the JR stations.

If you only use it in Tokyo and its neighbours, you can choose from the two. PASMO is only available at stations for private railways.

Notice: If you'd like to print a commuter pass (or "Teiki-ken", explained below) on your card, get SUICA for JR lines, or PASMO for private lines. If you'd like to use some mobile phones as a pre-paid card("Mobile SUICA"), get a SUICA.

How to get a card: Use designated ticket vending machines (blue machines at JR stations(SUICA), all most any machines at private railways(PASMO)). 1. Press "English" on the machines (and "PASMO" at private railways & subways), 2. Choose from: My SUICA/Personal User PASMO with your name printed on the card, or SUICA/General User PASMO without your name on it, 3. Choose the amount of fare to add into your card (including \500 deposit: to be paid back when you return your card to the stations), 4. Insert bills or toss coins.

How to restore the fare into your card ("Charge"): Use ticket vending machines. 1. Press "English", 2. Press "Charge" at JR stations or "PASMO" at private railways & subways, 3. Insert your card, 4. Choose the amount of fare, 5. Insert bills or toss coins.

How to use the card at ticket gates: Place your card on a blue lighted panel on the gates for one second. If the panel turns red, that means you have some errors. Try placing it once more, and if it turns red again, ask the station staffs for help. Possible problems are: you don't have enough fare in your card, or you haven't placed your card correctly at the gates of other stations.

How to return your card to the railway: When you're not going to use the card anymore, return it to the station (or, if you're coming back to Japan sometime in the future, take it with you). You can return SUICA to JR stations, and PASMO to private railways & subways. They'll pay you back the deposit (\500) and the fare left in your card. Charges may apply.

The answer is NO. You'll usually need to buy tickets everytime you change the operators (railway companies).

For example, you can buy a ticket easily through several lines operated by the JR, but may need to buy another when changing to lines operated by Seibu Railway.

You can buy a ticket through two operators by buying Transfer Tickets ("Norikae-Kippu"). At the ticket vending machines, press "English" on the screen, and then press "Transfer Tickets".

But if you don't want to buy tickets everytime changing the operators, buy SUICA or PASMO cards. These pre-paid cards with computer chips inside can be used for almost any lines and operators in and around Tokyo. All you need to do is to add fares (\1,000 to \20,000) at ticket vending machines, and pass the ticket gates by placing it on the reading panel. When you used up the fares, just add it again to use more (for more, read here or go to these websites: SUICA, PASMO).

For example, some Keio Line trains go through Toei-Shinjuku subway line, and some JR-Chuo Line trains go through Tokyo Metro-Tozai subway line.

To know if the train is going through other lines, check the destination of the train. If it's going to the station on the different line, it means it's going to change the lines somewhere.

Or, to look for the best route or to check the fare for your destination, use this site in English.

If you leave from the same station to go to the same destination frequently, yes. Typical discount tickets for the frequent users are: "Teiki-Ken" and "Kaisu-Ken".

If you take trains almost everyday (to your office or to your school, for example), then this is the right choice.

"Teiki-Ken" is a rail pass that can be re-used for a certain period, within the certain route. You can choose the period from a month, 3 months, or 6 months, and it has the highest discount rate of all services. You can use this pass as many times as you wish in the period you choose, and you can take trains or get off at any stations within the route.

There are two types: "Tsuukin" for adults, "Tsuugaku" for students (including college students). The latter has the higher discount rate.

Adult passes are available at staff desks at many stations, and designated ticket vending machines at some stations. As for students, only available at staff desks since you need to show them an ID that proves you're a student.

When you buy, you'll choose the both ends of the route, and the lines you take.. Of course, you can use it on the way back, or when you get off at other stations within the route. You can go through several lines and operators to buy it as one pass.

The pass can be purchased separately as a ticket (bigger than the regular tickets), or can be printed on SUICA or PASMO cards.

When you get off at the station that is out of the route you choosed, you'll need to pay extra fare from the closest station within the route.

If you use once a week or more but not almost everyday, this is the right choice.

"Kaisu-Ken" is a set of 11 to 14 tickets for the certain route. It's available for 3 months, and sold as 10 times of the regular fare.

You can get it at most of the ticket vending machines. Select the station you're leaving and the station you're getting off. Use one ticket every time just like a regular ticket.

JR lines and subways only sell sets of 11 tickets, but as for private lines, you can also choose: sets of 12 tickets (available through 11am-16pm on weekdays, anytime on weekends and holidays), sets of 14 tickets (available only on weekends and holidays).

You cannot buy it as one set through different operators. If you use several railways to your destination, you need to buy it respectively at each operator.

If you use toll-express, yes. You'll need two types of tickets to take long-distance express trains (including the Shinkansen).

One of them is called "Jyosya-Ken", which includes the regular fare. The second one is called "Tokkyu-Ken", which includes service fares for long-distance exppresses.

Both are available at designated station desks and ticket vending machines. Of course, they're only available at stations of operator that runs the express. For example, the Shinkansen tickets are only availble at the JR stations. As for the JR, the staff desks with green sign (Midori-No-Madoguchi) are the places to buy.

When getting "Jyosya-Ken" for the regular fare, choose the closest station of the operator that runs the express. For example, when you leave Mitaka to take Shinkansen at Tokyo, buy it from Mitaka. You cannot choose the stations of other operators.

"Tokkyu-Ken" for service fares only applies from the station where you take the express (in the example, you'll buy it from Tokyo). Choose from Reserved Seats or Non-Reserved Seats.

As for the JR, they have discount for passengers leaving from, or arriving at Tokyo Downtown area. If you leave from/go to station inside the designated metropolitan area using the JR conventional trains, you don't need to pay the fare within the area. For example, if you leave from Shinjuku to take the Shinkansen at Tokyo, you don't need to pay between Shinjuku and Tokyo since Shinjuku is in the downtown area. Or, if you're leaving from Mitaka, you're only paying from Mitaka to the edge of downtown area (Nishi-Ogikubo). About the downtown area, click here.

Or, get JR's "Rail Pass", the discount tickets available only for people from overseas. (more)

パスモとスイカの違い SUICA and PASMO	機能・使い方は、販売元の会社が違うだけで全く同じ。首都圏内なら、使える路線・店はほぼ同じ。（どちらもＪＲ・私鉄・都営・メトロ各線、一部の路線バス・コンビニなどの店舗で使える。）⇒両方持つ必要はない。スイカは、首都圏内に加え、ＪＲ東日本圏内（例えば仙台）、ＪＲ西日本圏内（例えば大阪）でも使える。スイカはＪＲ各駅の券売機や窓口、パスモは私鉄・地下鉄各駅の券売機や窓口で購入できる。 1秒間、パネルに触れる（かざす）だけ。⇒強く叩きつけても意味なし。逆に1秒未満で離すとエラーが出る。他のＩＣカードと重ねてタッチしちゃダメ。⇒2枚以上のパスモ・スイカ・その他ＩＣ系カード（一部の運転免許証、タスポなど）を重ねたり、一緒にサイフに入れた状態での使用はできない。エラーが出にくいチャージの仕方⇒①券売機の「PASMO」ボタンを押す（ＪＲの駅はなし）、②「チャージ」を選ぶ（そのまま③にいくことも）、③チャージする金額を選ぶ、④現金を入れるチャージはスイカ用チャージ機／券売機でも、パスモ用チャージ機／券売機でもできる。 Differences between SUICA and PASMO cards are only the companies that sell them. They both can be used for all most all train and bus lines, or some shops and restaurants in and around Tokyo. As for SUICA, can be used in other areas as well (Sendai, Osaka, etc.). Of course, you can add the fare on any machine if it says either SUICA or PASMO. You need to pay \500 when purchasing a card, but they'll pay you back the \500 when you're not using it any more, and return it at the stations. Purchase and return for SUICA is only available at stations of JR Lines, as for PASMO, stations for companies other than the JR. To store fare into your card (we call it "Charge" in strange Japanese), use ticket vendors: 1. Press "English" on the top-right side on the screen, 2. Press "PASMO"(on lines other than JR), "Charge"(on JR lines), 3. Insert your card, 4. Choose the amount you wish to add (\1,000 to \20,000), 5. Put bills or coins. If you need to do this inside the stations, use fare storing machines or fare adjustment machines. You cannot use more than one card at once, and for more than one person at once. If you place 2 cards on the panel, you'll need to try again with one card. Place your card gently on the panel for one second, not less.

スイカ・パスモの異常	残額があるのにエラーが出る場合、窓口へ。西武多摩川線以外の線の駅で発生した異常の場合、多摩川線の駅では処理できない。異常の発生した路線の駅で処理してもらう。（例えばＪＲの駅で正しくタッチされていない場合、ＪＲの駅の窓口でないと処理できず、処理しないとその後使えない）。
