JR to Toei Oedo Line at Shinjuku Station
How to change from JR lines to the Toei Oedo Line at Shinjuku Station. Leave JR at the South Gate and follow the Oedo Line signs; the platforms are deep underground, so allow about 6–7 minutes or more.
The Toei Oedo Line stop called "Shinjuku" is south-west of the JR station, next to the Keio New Line. The usual route is to leave JR through the South Gate, turn right, and follow the signs for the Keio New Line and Oedo Line.
The Oedo Line runs very deep, so the last part is a series of long escalators. Allow about 6–7 minutes, more at rush hour.
- The Oedo Line has two stops at Shinjuku: Shinjuku (south-west) and Shinjuku-nishiguchi (north-west). This page covers the Shinjuku stop.
- You leave the JR gates and enter the Toei gates. An IC card handles the fares automatically.
