Are Tokyo Metro trains back to normal today?

Service has improved. The Chiyoda Line restarted after a personal injury incident, and the Tozai Line stabilized after wind-related delays. Minor residual crowding may persist at key transfers through late morning. Check official alerts before the evening peak for any new weather-driven gaps.

How could this morning’s issues affect retailers and cafes?

Impact should be small. Staff and customer flows are normalizing as service stabilizes. Lunch and evening waves should be close to plan, with some timing shifts near busy hubs. We do not expect broad sales losses or extra labor costs based on current updates.

Should offices adjust schedules or meetings today?

A light buffer helps. Expect staggered arrivals in areas served by the Chiyoda and Tozai corridors, but most meetings can proceed with minor delays. Remote access tools cover gaps. Recheck conditions midafternoon in case winds return and create short headway gaps later.

What should commuters monitor into the evening?

Watch for wind advisories on the Tozai corridor and any official service notices. Allow extra time for transfers at large interchanges. If alerts show tighter headways, consider earlier departures or alternate routes to reduce platform wait times during the evening peak.
