The Tokyo Pass, also referred to as the Tokyo Metro Pass or Tokyo Subway Ticket, offers prepaid access for unlimited travel on Tokyo's subways, buses, and select trains within a specified area, typically spanning 24, 48, or 72 hours. It's ideal for visitors staying within Tokyo and relying on local transportation. Not applicable for JR trains, it excludes long-distance intercity travel.
In contrast, the Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) is a nationwide rail pass enabling unrestricted travel on most Japan Railways (JR) operated trains across the country, including Shinkansen (bullet trains), express, and local trains. Available for 7, 14, or 21 consecutive days, it facilitates travel between major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka. While valid on JR trains, buses, and ferries, it doesn't extend to other private railway networks.
Very nice, use the ticket and unlimited subway travelling
extremely easy to buy and get the ticket from the ticketing vending machine. Love it!
smooth process experience!
Tickets cannot be collected on every machine but it is much simpler and more convenient than having to find a store along with your passport. Because this is the normal procedure in Japan for non residents. I used this service 3 times on 72 and 24-hour subway tickets and saved as much money as my time. I was introduced to this service by someone I met and I recommend it without hesitation.
