Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) may be a little more popular train pass than Tokyo Subway Ticket. JR Pass gives more benefits to travelers who travel a long distance, for instance to Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima from Tokyo.

On the other hand, travelers in Tokyo should get Tokyo Subway Ticket since using subways makes your travel much more smooth and easy.

Today, I’d like to introduce how to get, which kind of the pass you should buy and how much you can save.

Rate

Tokyo Subway 24-hour Ticket: JPY800 (Adult)/JPY400 (Child)

Tokyo Subway 48-hour Ticket: JPY1,200 (Adult)/JPY600 (Child)

Tokyo Subway 72-hour Ticket: JPY1,500 (Adult)/JPY750 (Child)

How much can you save?

This is the example of an itinerary you can get benefit with:

From Tokyo Station, you head to Asakusa to see Sensoji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate. And then, move to Ueno to enjoy eating and shoping at Ameyoko Market Street.

For authentic and best Sushi, you visit Tsukuji Fish Market, and move to Ginza for shopping at classy brands and fast fashion clothing stores.

At night, the final destination is Shibuya where you can enjoy pop culture and exciting nightlife. Finally, sleep at nice capsule hotels in Shibuya.

The subway line at Tokyo Station


Tokyo Station (Nihonbashi Station) to Asakusa Station: JPY170 (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line)

Asakusa Station to Ueno Station: JPY170 (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line)

Ueno Station to Tsukiji Station: JPY170 (Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line)

Tsukiji Station to Ginza Station: JPY170 (Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line)

Ginza Station to Shibuya Station: JPY200 (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line)

Total: JPY880


In conclusion, you should buy Tokyo Subway 24-hour day pass Ticket (JPY800) with that itinerary. Even though it costs less than JPY800 to move by subway a day, I recommend to get the ticket since it’s much hassle to purchase train tickets every time.

If you stay in Tokyo for multiple days, buy 48-hour Ticket or 72-hour Ticket which are cheaper than two or three 24-hour Tickets.
