Getting to know Tokyo CGG3O

Tokyo Capital of Japan Official population of over 12 million people, Greater Tokyo has a population of over 35 million people Huge – not really a city but a whole bunch of cities that have grown together Not well organized (streets are far from grid-like) Very busy/crowded Many huge, complex train stations Not necessarily about specific tourist attractions

“For most visitors, the biggest part of the Tokyo experience is just wandering around at random and absorbing the vibe, poking your head into shops selling weird and wonderful things, sampling restaurants where you can't recognize a single thing on the menu (or on your plate), and finding unexpected oases of calm in the tranquil grounds of a neighbourhood Shinto shrine. It's all perfectly safe, and the locals will go to sometimes extraordinary lengths to help you if you just ask” - Wikitravel.org

Key Districts Chiyoda – seat of political and economic power, home of the Imperial Palace Minato – the nightclub district (Roppongi) is here Shinjuku – shopping, restaurants, wild nightlife Shibuya – shopping, harajuku, Meiji Shrine

Getting around Tokyo The Tokyo subway system is part of the world's most extensive rapid transit system in a single metropolitan area (Greater Tokyo) The subway system itself is largely within the city center, but the lines extend far out onto suburban railway lines

The Tokyo Subway System Comprised of 13 lines and 274 stations Two primary operators: –Tokyo Metro –Toei Together they carry a combined average of over 8 million passengers daily - which only represents about 22% of Tokyo's 40 million daily rail passengers

New York’s Subway System 468 stations (all but 2 open 24 hours) Averages abut 5 million passengers on weekdays The 4 th busiest rapid rail system in the world (Tokyo is #1) Connects 4 of NYC’s boroughs (Staten Island is not connected)
