Is it the same location as a JR Akihabara exit?
Although the Hibiya Line and JR stations share the name Akihabara, their street exits are in different places. Establish the address of your destination, whether the electronics district, a meeting point or a walk toward Okachimachi, before selecting an exit. On the return trip, look for the silver H16 Hibiya Line symbol rather than following JR signs alone.
With a suitcase or wheelchair
Iriya’s street elevator has a dedicated entrance connected to the Shitaya-bound ticket gate. A stair lift is listed between platforms, so a street elevator does not mean the entire route uses elevators; tell station staff your direction. Akihabara’s official guide lists the street elevator between the ticket gate toward JR Akihabara Station and exit 3.
Checking first and last trains and tickets
In each station’s official timetable, select your direction and either weekdays or weekends/public holidays. Allow for walking to the station and reaching the platform, and search fares for Iriya–Akihabara. When travelling with children, prepare child IC cards or the appropriate tickets and distinguish them from credit-card postpaid travel, which offers adult fares only.
