Hibiya Line to Nakaokachimachi station or 2. Ginza Line to Uenohirokoji station In either case, you'll be at least three long blocks away (but less than 200 meters) and should go in the direction of the South entrance to the JR Okachimachi station and follow my original directions (listed below) after that. Sam, the JR Lines don't show up in some subway maps because it's a separate train line. However, it's the Natiomal train system of Japan and used, to my knowledge, somewhat interchangeably with the subway systems. There are numerous tranfer points to the JR lines from most of the subway lines in Tokyo. The JR Okachimachi station lies between the Ueno station, to the North, and the Akihabara station, to the South. George >Walking from Nezu subway station to Okachimachi takes >about 15 - 20 mins.
