Tokyo TRTA Subways
Marunouchi Line

Marunouchi

This is probably my favorite line in all of Tokyo. Maybe because it was my first subway to ride in Tokyo. Maybe it was the old Red cars that have since been retired, maybe it is the NY style 3rd rail? Who knows. But it is a must ride. It is a strange route though making a complete semi-circle around the imperial palace grounds.
