Is the Greater Tokyo Pass worth it?
- You land at Narita and spend your 5 days on day trips: Narita Airport to Ueno on the Keisei Main Line alone is ¥1,030 each way, so the trip in and back out already covers almost a third of the ¥6,500 pass.
- You are going to Nikko, Enoshima, Mt. Takao or Yokohama on different days, on top of your city riding in Tokyo. At ¥1,300 a day, two or three day trips like these make it pay.
- You want one ticket for all the private railways, so you don't buy a separate pass for each trip.
- You stay in central Tokyo: a Tokyo Metro ride costs ¥180 to ¥330, and the Tokyo Subway 72-hour Ticket covers every subway line for ¥2,000.
- Nikko is your only trip out of Tokyo: Tobu's own NIKKO PASS World Heritage Area costs ¥3,000 for 2 days, with the round trip from Asakusa and the local buses in Nikko.
- Most of your trips are on JR, such as the Yamanote Line or the shinkansen, or you arrive at Haneda on the Tokyo Monorail: none of these are covered.
The pass doesn't work at the automatic ticket gates: you show the IN USE screen to staff each time.

How to use it
The pass is digital. Press USE to start it, and it then runs for 5 consecutive days. Each day runs from 3:00 to 2:59 the next morning, so if you start between midnight and 2:59, those hours count as the first day.
Show the IN USE screen to the station staff, conductor or bus driver when you get on and when you get off. The automatic ticket gates don't accept the pass, and the booking email or voucher is not valid for travel. If your phone's battery dies, you pay the regular fare.
If a line in the pass area is disrupted, you may use other transport instead. The pass is not extended.
Before you buy
The pass is for foreign visitors to Japan only. Foreign residents of Japan and Japanese citizens can't use it, and you must carry your passport while travelling.
One booking can cover up to eight people, each with their own ticket, who must all be foreign visitors and ride together. The voucher is valid for three months from issue.
Refunds: an unused pass can be refunded only through the agent you bought it from, under that agent's fees. After you start using it there is no refund, even if services are suspended by bad weather, and a lost pass is not reissued.
