So, how do the Japanese travel around Tokyo? As some of you know, there are about 34 million people in Tokyo metropolitan area. Even so, the roads are not overfilled with cars - the Japanese prefer to use the trains and metro.
This is a crossing near Ikebukuro station, as you can see, there are not so many cars around :D
One thing that nobody can survive without is a Pasmo or Suica card:
Other cards will be probably without all that blue print on top of it. It's a magnetic card, which you can fill up with cash in ticket machines and use it for any train ride. Well, there aren't any discounts for any train rides with this card, it just spares you the time you would use to buy a ticket. It is one thing you realy come to appreciate, when the rush hours begin.
