Why some times are missing
JR East, Tobu Railway and Seibu Railway: the Public Transportation Open Data Center (ODPT) releases these station timetables under its Open Data Challenge licence, for contest entrants only, so this site cannot republish them.
Tokyo Metro, Toei and five other railways publish on terms this site can use, which is why their stations have times.

Not on the Tokyo Subway Ticket
JR East is a different railway from the subway. Tokyo Metro and Toei run the subway; JR runs its own lines across and around it, mostly above ground.
Your Suica or PASMO works on both. Tap in and out the same way and the right fare is taken, so an IC card is the simplest way to move between the two.
Paper subway tickets and subway day passes are not accepted, and a journey that uses both railways pays a subway fare and a JR fare rather than one combined fare.

Not here yet
Which car to board still isn't here — it exists as posters on the platform and in no open dataset at all. Live service status covers the four Toei lines only, on their line pages: Tokyo Metro's feed is open data, but its terms don't allow passing it on the way this site delivers live information.
