Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tokyo Subway Ticket?
The Tokyo Subway Ticket is an unlimited-ride tourist pass covering all Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines — 13 lines and over 280 stations across the city — for 24, 48, or 72 consecutive hours from first use. It is available exclusively to overseas tourists and is the most popular and cost-effective transport pass for visitors exploring Tokyo.
What lines are covered by the Tokyo Subway Ticket?
The pass covers all 9 Tokyo Metro lines (Ginza, Marunouchi, Hibiya, Tozai, Chiyoda, Yurakucho, Hanzomon, Namboku, and Fukutoshin) and all 4 Toei Subway lines (Asakusa, Mita, Shinjuku, and Oedo). JR lines including the Yamanote Line, Tokyo buses, and private railways are not covered and require a separate IC card.
Is the Tokyo Subway Ticket worth buying?
A single one-way subway fare in Tokyo costs between 170 and 320 yen — meaning visitors who take five or more journeys per day easily cover the cost of a 24-hour pass and save on every additional trip. For visitors exploring multiple districts across two or three days, the 48 or 72-hour pass provides even greater savings compared to paying individual fares.
Can I use the Tokyo Subway Ticket on the Yamanote Line?
No — the Tokyo Subway Ticket does not cover JR-operated lines including the Yamanote Line, which is a separate rail network running around central Tokyo. For travel on JR lines, a prepaid IC card such as Suica or a JR Pass is required in addition to the Tokyo Subway Ticket.
When does the pass become valid?
The selected duration begins from your first journey through a subway ticket gate.
