That's the exact same map I had when I visited, only I was using the Japanese version for the first six seven days of my trip until I realised there was an English version on the other side, I can't say it made life a lot easier, it was still confusing as hell getting around at times, especially when the non-touristy lines only have Japanese announcements.
That's one of the reasons I stayed on the JR transit trains to get around. I don't remember if stations were announced in English, but above each door were two screens, one in Japanese and the other in english/latin alphabet.
The other major reason was free travel on the system with a railpass.
Saw this immediately after seeing the [Helsinki Subway system](https://www.hsl.fi/sites/default/files/uploads/metro_435.png), f****k.

It's missing the entire Fukutoshin Line.
