Courtesy Seats
Courtesy seat sticker
Courtesy seats can be found at the end of each car. Please give up your seat should someone need it more. Courtesy seats are easily identified by a sticker on the window behind them.
"Women-only" Cars
"Women Only" sign
Tokyo Metro has adopted "women-only" cars during the morning rush hour so that women, elementary school students and younger children can ride with a sense of security.
The designated boarding areas along platforms are marked with the "Women Only" sign clearly indicating the locations of cars that are for women only during rush hour.
- *Note1: Morning rush hour starts from the first train of the day to around 9:30 a.m. generally.
Time varies depending on the line and operation. - *Note2: "Women-only" car is available for women, elementary school students and younger children, physically (or mentally) challenged passengers and their caregivers.
