TICKETS AND ATTRACTIONS
In Japan it is ESSENTIAL that you pre purchase your attractions in advance as many are likely to sell out.
Sushi Making Samurai experience – Jin Asakusa
ESSENTIAL APPS
Which RAIL passes will you need for Tokyo (and Japan)?
1. Suica or Pasmo Card
Firstly, It is essential you get a Suica or Pasmo Card. Suica / Pasom Cards are an IC transport card. You can top up them up and tap on and off Trains and Buses. They also work at convenience stores and some retail shops.
They allow you to easily move around Japan, without having to line up to get tickets. AND without having to constantly work out your train fare and the dealing with the ticketing machines.
Find out where you can grab a Welcome Suica Card here. There is currently a shortage of these train cards. This guide will share where you can get one, and/ or how to load a digital version to your phone.
2. Tokyo Metro Pass
I would also highly suggest you get a Tokyo Metro Pass.
We recently travelled for 3 days in Tokyo and overall saved ourselves ALOT of money by getting this pass. (NOTE: It does not work on JR lines, however you will likely only catch a few of these and you can use your Suica Card)
3. JR Pass
A JR Pass rarely ends up being the cheaper option for most travel itineraries, including this one. Unless you’re planning several side trips such as to Hiroshima, Nagano, or other distant cities, or you plan on taking around 3 or more Shinkansen trips within 7 days (or 5+ within 14 days), it’s unlikely the pass will save you money.
Additionally, the JR Pass offers limited value in Tokyo, as it only covers JR-operated lines and not the city’s more extensive Metro.
To find out more, use the JR Pass calculator, and to find out about regional passes, checkout our blog: Guide to Japan’s Rail Passes & the JR Rail Pass in 2024
