    I must confess I was scared when I say a map of Tokyo subway when I tried to find Shibuya station, but I had a great experience using it. You pay for the distance you go, if you go farther you have to pay more when you get out from it.
    It is safe, clean and confortable, way better than Mexico City's subway!!
    I used it from Ginza to Shibuya and the price was 190 yens. I had to ask for help when buying my ticket because the ticket machine can be very hard to understand.

    The metro of Tokyo seems to be like other famous ones in London and Paris; but it ISN'T.

    After 10 days of traveling with this metro I finally managed to see through the way how to change over on another line without losing your ticket resulting in buying a new one.

    Most people sleep in the metro. The ones who doesn't, they play with their mobile phone. Girls sitting in front of you thinking that they look good don't even look up from their phonescreen till their station finally is there.

    It's amazing to see how people rarely talk with each other in the metro. Good point is the order to switch off your mobile phone sound when entering the metro. For the rest; the metro is very efficient; people stand in a row before the trains arrive.
