Exploring the Chiyoda Line network.

The Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line is a major east-west subway trunk that cuts through the political and commercial heart of Tokyo. It connects the northeastern suburbs (Ayase/Kita-Senju) with the southwestern hubs (Yoyogi-Uehara), providing direct access to the National Diet Building (Kokkai-gijidomae), Omotesando, and the Otemachi financial district. It features extensive through-services with the JR Joban Line and Odakyu Electric Railway.
