Tokyo Hotness: The subway map

After 4 hours in the Akiba I made it through three buildings. I either need to move faster or deal with missing a few things when I come back on Monday.

When I was buying my ticket for the train back to the hotel, there were a bunch of tourists snapping pictures of the map and it seemed like a good idea.

The subway system in Tokyo is enormous and intricate. For all of its size, its surprisingly easy to navigate. It gets a bit tougher when you leave the core and the signs aren’t in English, but some symbol reading will get you through.

The really cool part are the rates. When you buy your ticket, you need to find your destination. The number beside it is how much you pay.
