Tokyo: save the exit number before you travel

Record more than a station name

Save the destination address and useful exit number. Tokyo Metro’s guidance directs passengers to gate signs, numbered exits and vicinity maps to find their way outside.

Check the step-free connection

Look up the station’s barrier-free facilities. Tokyo Metro describes routes linking street, gate and platform, so check the entire connection rather than a single elevator symbol.

Protect the return connection

Plan the train that reaches your accommodation with its transfers. Leave time to find the platform; the last departure from a station may not complete your journey.

Keep information available offline

Save a screenshot of the exit and accommodation address before leaving. Stand aside when reading directions, and avoid blocking fare gates or narrow restaurant entrances.
