Nakano is well connected by various train lines, both above and under ground.

The most important stop is Nakano on the JR Chuo and JR Chuo-Sobu lines, where JR Chuo rapid (orange) and JR Chuo-Sobu local (yellow) trains stop. Additionally and there are also local trains on the JR-Chuo line during peak hours. Nakano is also the terminal stop for trains on the Tokyo Metro Tozai subway line (sky blue, stop T01). Nevertheless, some trains of the Tozai line will continue on the JR Chuo line as Chuo-Sobu local trains after reaching Nakano. Travelers reach Nakano quickest with JR Chuo line rapid trains which operate on a frequent schedule from Shinjuku station (1 stop, 5 minutes, ¥250) and Tokyo station (5 stops, 20 minutes ¥210). Nakano's main commercial area (i.e. most shops and restaurants, including Nakano Sunmall and Nakano Broadway) are just north of the station.

Please pay attention to the actual service before you board a JR Chuo rapid train. The most frequent service, simply called rapid (orange), as well as the commuter rapid (purple) and the Ome special rapid (green) are the only ones stopping in Nakano. But the special rapid (pale turquoise) and the commuter special rapid (pink), and the Chuo and Ome liners (both pale orange) pass Nakano. Given in parentheses are the signature colors on the service diagrams (not to be confused with the line colors), which can be found on the station platforms and show what service stops/passes what stations.

Also on the JR Chuo line is Higashi Nakano (East Nakano) but only just JR Chuo-Sobu local trains stop there.

Further north of the ward Arai Yakushi-mae, Numabukuro, Nogata, Toritsu Kasei and Saginomiya are stops on the Seibu Shinjuku line, which does not terminate at Shinjuku (as the name might suggest to some) but at Seibushinjuku, i.e. Seibu's own station a bit north of Shinjuku station.

The south of the ward is connected by Tokyo Metro Marunouchi line with trains stopping in Nakano Sakaue where the line is split and most trains continue to Shin-Nakano but some continue on the Honancho branch to Nakano Shimbashi and Nakano Fujimicho instead. Trains run to Shinjuku and Tokyo stations from all these stops.

Additionally to these east-west bound lines and there's one south-north bound line. The Toei Oedo line stops at the already mentioned Nakano Sakaue and Higashi Nakano station as well as at Shin-Ekoda. Once again, trains on this line also stop at Shinjuku station.

Further stations of various (including not previously mentioned) lines stop just outside of the ward, providing additional connections to places close to the ward's border. Ochiai station on the Tozai line, while situated in neighboring Shinjuku ward, even has exits in Nakano ward.

What to see in Tokyo/Nakano

• Baishoin - 梅照院 | 5-3-5 Arai, Nakano 35.714535, 139.6675846 From Nakano station, follow the main street north until you reach a pedestrian bridge. Don't cross the bridge but turn right into the park / temple area instead. It's a 15 minutes walk (~1km), so you might choose to take one of the many buses that follows the same route. Get out at Kitano-jinja (北野神社) and keep walking in the same direction until you reach said pedestrian bridge. During sakura season and there's pink lanterns and white cherry trees lining the street from Nakano station to the temple grounds. Be aware that the lanterns continue to the northern border of Nakano, so don't follow them to the end. Last but not least, you can also make the first half of the walk there more enjoyable by walking through Sunmall and Broadway (see below) and then turn left to again join said main street for the second half of the trip. - 51 weeks of the year, this is just a small, unimportant and uninteresting temple connected to an equally uninteresting park / playground. But during one week in the year, in early April, this is where Nakano celebrates hanami. There are lots of white cherry trees on the way there already, and some more sakura can be seen on the grounds. At this time and there are also lots of food stalls and even a small stage with some traditional singing and dancing going on. If you want to be amazed by the sheer number or size of cherry trees (or hanami parties) and there are better places in Tokyo. But if you're in Nakano anyway, it's a nice place to see how the local people enjoy the sakura season and grab some typical Japanese bites.
