JR East operates long-distance and suburban lines including the Yamanote Line loop circling central Tokyo. Tokyo Metro and Toei operate the underground subway network in the city centre. A Suica or Pasmo IC card works on all systems seamlessly — no need for separate tickets.
No — most Tokyo trains stop between midnight and 5:30am. Last trains depart at 12:00–12:30am; plan your evenings accordingly. Missing the last train means waiting until 5am or taking a taxi, which can be expensive for longer journeys.
Suica IC cards work on all JR, Tokyo Metro, and Toei trains and buses, plus as payment at most convenience stores, vending machines, restaurants, and shops across Japan. Buy one at any JR station for a ¥500 refundable deposit, or use a digital Suica on an iPhone.
