Traveling to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games 東京オリンピックの交通網

A functional maze of transportation system

Tokyo is renowned for its well-developed public transportation system but intends to showcase the best transportation system in the world during the 2020 Olympics!

Many rail companies and their lines plan to extend their services until 2 am., as will be the case for JR Yamanote, Tokyo Metro, and Toei.

The private companies plan to offer an extension of service of an additional 90 min during the period of the Games.

To prevent the large number of people who will take the train during the two weeks of the Games, security will be greatly reinforced on the platforms thanks to the system of automated barriers in many stations.

Measures such as:

  • encourage employees to take time off,
  • offer salarymen to telecommute,
  • stagger working hours,
  • review the organization of Games logistics.

On the practical side for tourists, the Keikyu company has announced that, during the Games, the hotel suitcase delivery service will be increased in order to avoid congestion.
