Tokyo Subway Ticket
When not to buy a pass
Skip a pass when your route is city-only, when private railway coverage is better, or when your expensive rides fall outside the pass validity window.
Airport arrival route
Plan airport transfer separately first. Then check if a pass should begin on arrival day or later, after the transport-heavy portion starts.
Common first-time visitor mistakes
- Activating a long-distance pass for low-value local travel days.
- Assuming airport transfer tickets and city passes are the same purchase.
- Ignoring luggage and station walking time in the route plan.
Use Pass Finder
