## Transfers Between Lines

Some services operate directly between the JR Jōban Local Line and the Chiyoda Line through Ayase, while other journeys require a transfer at Kita-Senju.

Follow signs for Tobu Railway.
The JR and Tobu platforms use separate ticketed areas, so passengers normally pass through transfer or public ticket gates.

Allow several minutes because the Tsukuba Express platforms and gates are separately operated.
### Tobu Skytree Line to Hibiya Line

Passengers may be able to remain on the same train, but should check the destination and service type.

Many Chiyoda Line services continue through Ayase onto the JR Jōban Local Line.
Check the final destination because not every train continues beyond the Tokyo Metro network.

Follow Tokyo Metro signs and allow additional time for escalators, elevators and passageways.

Check whether a Tobu train continues onto the Hibiya Line before boarding.

Confirm whether your Jōban Line service is rapid or local because the two service groups use different routes and platforms.
Check whether your Tsukuba Express train is rapid, commuter rapid, semi-rapid or local.
Follow railway-company logos and coloured line symbols rather than relying only on platform numbers.
Keep your ticket or transport card available because transfers between operators may require separate ticket gates.
