The subway system in Japan is AWESOME. The trains are always on time, and it's really fast and convenient to use. It's actually quite similar to the BART system in SF. The only problems I've noticed with it has been the occasional smell of urine, and the cramped space if you're trying to get home during rush hour.
SUBWAY
This is the ticket gate (in this case I was exiting the station). First, you put your ticket through the part where the arrow is pointing, then the gates open and your ticket pops out on the other side.
Here's the waiting platform, and below are images of the subway train when it's not packed.
