“Hi, what are the peak hour to avoid taking subway / metro/jr train? As I afarid if I going out at 8 am, I can squeeze into the train?”

Absolutely, navigating rush hours on trains here can be quite the adventure! Basically, from 7:00 to 9:00 AM during weekdays, trains heading toward Tokyo from surrounding areas like Saitama, Kanagawa, and Chiba get quite packed. But here’s a cool tip: if you’re traveling in the opposite direction, like from Tokyo to those prefectures during those times, it’s usually a lot more chill and way less crowded. So, if you can, try and schedule your travels against the usual rush to have a more relaxed trip. Enjoy exploring Japan without the crush!
