Tokyo Metro Lines

Tokyo

The Tokyo Metro used to be known as TRTA, or TEITO or EIDAN Lines. It is the larger of the 2 Tokyo subway systems. With the re-branding, the former "S" logo has been replaced with a M logo. This is the oldest subway system in Japan. The Ginza line opened between Asakusa and Ueno in 1927. It is my personal favorite system to ride. This system connects with most of the tourist areas. 

The Metro consists of the following lines: Ginza, Marunouchi, Hibiya, Tozai, Chiyoda, Yurakucho, Hanzomon, Namboku, and the Fukutoshin which opened in June 2008.
