How to Buy Tokyo Subway Discount Tickets
4/26/2016
As I wrote in previous article, the Tokyo subway is one of the best ways to move around Tokyo. I highly recommend to buy Tokyo subway open ticket before you explore the city of Tokyo.
Where can you buy?
Please confirm more information from official website.
How much are they?
1-Day ticket: Adult 800 yen, Child 400 yen
2-Day ticket: Adult 1200 yen, Child 600 yen
3-Day tickets: Adult 1500 yen, Child 750 yen
In Tokyo subway, the fare of minimum distance (such as one stop away) is about 170 yen. It is easy to recover an expenses of 800 yen within a day.
This ticket is valid on all Tokyo Metro lines and all Toei Subway lines. Please confirm terms of validity before you purchase the tickets.
Tokyo Subway Navigation
As you know, Tokyo subway is connected in complicated ways. Before you take subways, I recommend to check...
a) name of railways to take
b) direction of trains
c) stations to transfer
One of the useful ways is searching the stations by free Tokyo Metro official application "Tokyo Subway Navigation for Tourists".
You can download it to you smartphone and check it before you take trains. This is available in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. It is easy to use and can be used offline.
You can just enter names of stations,
-where you take from
-where you want to go
-the number of time for transfers
-fare for one adult
Advanced tickets are available
One more thing before you buy! There are no Tokyo subway stations connected to Haneda airport. You need to buy Tokyo monorail railway ticket or Keikyu line ticket to go to your hotel by trains from Haneda airport, even if you buy the discount tickets there.
If you will not take Tokyo subway on the day of arrival to Tokyo, they have advance tickets. The Tokyo subway ticket is valid for one day (or two/three days depends on tickets you buy) from the time you start taking Tokyo subway.
Plan your trip and choose the best way!
