Is there an online map of the Tokyo rail lines? I know my way around Tokyo, but I'm not familiar with all the private lines or even all the JR lines cuz I was a subway/metro dweller. Trying to suss out some apartments (but not in Japan yet) so a map of Tokyo with rail lines would help. Though, I never saw one in my four years living there, so I don't have huge hopes...

Also, can anyone point me in the direction of a decent message board where one can ask questions about non-ESL stuff in Tokyo (along the lines of tanning salons, nail shops, hair extensions)?

Many thanks! Forgive the O/T.

Not sure if it's the best one, but I often use this one. The rest of the site is quite useful too.
