Yūrakuchō Station on the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line is connected to Hibiya Station by underground passageways, and it is possible to connect between the two stations without going through the ticket gates. However, the JR platforms at Yūrakuchō are fairly far from Hibiya Station and require a second ticket.
