Encyclopedic overview
The Tokyo subway consists of two major subway systems (Japanese: 地下鉄, Hepburn: chikatetsu), the Tokyo Metro and the Toei Subway. Most of the network is located in the 23 special wards, with portions extending into Chiba and Saitama Prefectures. The subways are one part of Greater Tokyo's passenger rail network, with through service further connecting the subway to suburban railways in Western Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture.
