As an aside, the stench of alcohol in the trains nearing last trains are pretty unpleasant.
- ekianjo 10y agoand trains in tokyo are usually packed so you cant sit.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoTrains in Tokyo are usually packed during rush hour. If you are traveling off peak (as a tourist often would), you'll usually find lots of seats open. I've never had trouble getting a seat on he ring line or another JR line, simply because I was traveling in the afternoon. China on the other hand...

Also, as much as great public transit is nice for visitors (I don't live or work in Japan, and being a visitor there is great), its primary concern should be its residents. (subway lines do get built using big migratory events like world fairs though)
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoYes, but it isn't true that Tokyo trains usually don't have seats. If you work on a strict 8-5 schedule, then of course it usually won't have seats for you.
- ekianjo 10y agoThe yamanote line usually has seats during the day after peak hours but many other likes stay relatively packed even during the day lIke the chuosen.
