Getting around

"Edogawe is well-connected by Tokyo's train and bus networks. The JR Chuo Line and Toei Subway provide quick access to central Tokyo. Local buses cover neighborhoods, and taxis are reliable but pricey. Renting a bicycle is a great way to explore riverside paths. Purchase a Suica or Pasmo card for seamless travel."
