Tokyo Metro Subway Map Reviews

The main value of TokyoMetroSubwayMap is plugging in Point A and Point B and being able to see the best route. This counts for something. However, don’t expect to get much more benefit from TokyoMetroSubwayMap than that. It is barely to read the map to get information from it, and the ads in the free version are truly annoying.

TokyoMetroSubwayMap would be more useful if you could select which rail companies to include and which ones to exclude. If you have a pass with one (such as Tokyo Metro) but don’t have another (such as JR), it doesn’t work. Basically you have to buy passes on them all to use TokyoMetroSubwayMap.

The Tokyo subway lines are very complex and extensive and one needs as much help as possible. I recently used TokyoMetroSubwayMap to maneuver around Tokyo and its a great blessing. It helps find stations by location and provides best routes. Once you get the feel of it it's great. It's a must have app for Tokyo tourists

If you get a Tokyo Subway pass, you will not be able to use the Yamanote line. TokyoMetroSubwayMap sometimes shows you routes using that line and there are no alternatives or a way to get an alternative route.

Just stared using it and the initial impression is, if I use TokyoMetroSubwayMap I am in a big trouble when I arrive to Tokyo.:(

Garbage. Missing Kuhombutsu Station. What else?

This upgrade is reminiscent of Apple's faux pas with the IOS 6 upgrade. They smarten it up and overall it looks cleaner, but they downgraded the MAP part of TokyoMetroSubwayMap . The old version map at least had the JR stations indicated so you can see a subway and know what was the closest Railroad station (Very important in Tokyo). Now all they have is the subway stop names. Suggest you put the Railroad stations back into the map and maybe even add a feature in the routing section for finding JR lines.

There is great potential here, the search function and route finder are incredibly useful...except that the layout and stops associated with each line are either out of date or simply not accurate. I live in the Tokyo area and I only about 1 in 3 routes I've tried in this function exist.. Plus there are many none listed easier routes that are not existed ( i.e. you can go from Tokyo to Shinjuku on the Maranuchu line...but according to this map you have to xfer...this is but one example.). Again good potential, just needs an updated map.

By no means comprehensive, it doesn't include certain train lines. So a few times, not knowing this, it really tripped me up. After I got more used to the metro, TokyoMetroSubwayMap was fine for most of my trips. It's layout is simple and very easy to read. But at the end of the day, Google Maps' directions were the best I saw while in Tokyo. I downloaded 3 metro apps and Google Maps is better than all of them.

TokyoMetroSubwayMap seriously makes everything so easy! Searchable by attraction/point of interest too, so you'll always know which train to take. Works offline too. I will use this every time I visit Japan! ❤️🌸🇯🇵

Very useful for navigating a complex system in a foreign country with a different alphabet. I use it to get almost anywhere in the city from my hotel whether on business or pleasure.

This simple app made navigating through the intimidating subway system here in Japan a breeze. Highly recommended just for the ability to work offline alone. 🤗🇯🇵

This map isn't as comprehensive or easy to use as the real subway map that tourists can get from the Narita info booth at the airport. Nevertheless, it is quite handy when winging it, especially if you've seen the detailed map before.

Traveled to Tokyo in March and TokyoMetroSubwayMap helped a lot. Would recommend it to everyone.
Shows how to get from point A to B, can choose shortest or most easiest says too.

I loved this map! It really helped me when I was visiting over in Tokyo! Recommended for every tourist riding the subway there!!!

I've used TokyoMetroSubwayMap for several years. Overall, very good, though I thought the interface on the old version was better. Still needs to add JR lines though.

So great to find a free subway planner for Tokyo! My complaint: it doesn't show the cost for the route, or let you choose routes based on cheapest possible way.

TokyoMetroSubwayMap was really helpful - loved being able to put in starting point and destination, getting directions and transfer points.

TokyoMetroSubwayMap will become your best friend if you're visiting Tokyo. It works great, thank you!

In Tokyo for my second time and wanted to go the paperless guide route only to find this map is missing many key lines. As a result, it gives you inaccurate directions on how to go places, resulting in both increased transfers and increased fares. Its missing at least 5 lines that run through Ueno. Try another app.
