About Greater Tokyo Pass
The Greater Tokyo Pass is a highly convenient ticket allowing unlimited travel on railways, tramways, and Toei buses operated by 13 companies in the Kanto area for five consecutive days — covering not just the core of central Tokyo but extending deep into the surrounding prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama. It is the ideal pass for visitors who want to explore beyond the main tourist circuit and reach destinations that the Tokyo Subway Ticket alone cannot reach.
The 13 included railway operators together form the backbone of Tokyo's private rail network — covering every major neighbourhood and connecting seamlessly to the city's most popular day-trip destinations. On the Odakyu Line you can reach the scenic Shonan beach town of Katase-Enoshima and Enoshima Island. The Keio Line takes you to the foot of Mt. Takao — one of the most popular hiking destinations accessible from central Tokyo. The Keisei Line connects to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita. Keikyu reaches the Zushi-Hayama coast and the charming historic town of Kamakura. The Minatomirai Line runs through the heart of Yokohama's modern waterfront district. The Yurikamome elevated monorail crosses the Rainbow Bridge to the Odaiba waterfront. And the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway together cover every corner of central Tokyo — from Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku to Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara, Ginza, and Roppongi.
The pass is fully digital — loaded onto a PASMO Passport card which is used by simply tapping at station gates. A PASMO Passport is required to use the Greater Tokyo Pass — if you do not already have one, it can be purchased at the same time and same location as the pass itself. The pass is available exclusively to foreign visitors with temporary visitor status — not available to foreign residents or Japanese nationals. Up to 8 passengers can travel simultaneously on a single presentation of the ticket. Note that JR lines (including the Yamanote Line and Shinkansen), the Tokyo Monorail, and airport express trains are not included and require separate IC card fares or tickets.

Insiders' Tips
Activate the pass on your first full day of exploring — not the evening before, as each day counts from 3:00 AM to 2:59 AM the next morning. A PASMO Passport card is required to use the pass — if you don't have one, buy it at the same time and same location as the Greater Tokyo Pass at Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, or major Tokyo stations. Keep your phone charged at all times as the digital pass cannot be used if your device runs out of battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Greater Tokyo Pass?
The Greater Tokyo Pass is a 5-day unlimited travel pass covering 13 private railway lines and 52 bus companies across the Greater Tokyo and Kanto area — available exclusively to foreign visitors with temporary visitor status in Japan. It provides the widest coverage of any private rail pass available to tourists, extending well beyond central Tokyo to destinations across Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama prefectures.
What lines are included in the Greater Tokyo Pass?
The 13 included lines are Odakyu, Keio, Keisei, Keikyu, Sagami Railway (Sotetsu), Seibu, Tokyu, Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway and Bus, Tobu, Yokohama Minatomirai Railway, Yokohama Municipal Subway, and Yurikamome. JR lines including the Yamanote Line and the Shinkansen are not included and require separate IC card fares.
Is the Greater Tokyo Pass worth buying?
The Greater Tokyo Pass delivers the best value for visitors who plan to travel extensively across the wider Kanto area — day trips to Enoshima, Mt. Takao, Kamakura, Yokohama, Nikko, or Narita combined with daily travel around central Tokyo can easily cover the pass cost in 2 to 3 days. For visitors staying in central Tokyo with no day trips planned, the Tokyo Subway Ticket may be more cost-effective.
What is a PASMO Passport and do I need one?
A PASMO Passport is an IC card required to load and use the Greater Tokyo Pass — without one, the pass cannot be used. It costs ¥500 and can be purchased at the same time and location as the Greater Tokyo Pass at airports and major Tokyo stations. If you already have a PASMO Passport, the pass can be loaded directly onto it.
Can I use the Greater Tokyo Pass on the Yamanote Line?
No — the Yamanote Line is operated by JR East and is not included in the Greater Tokyo Pass. The Yamanote Line requires a separate IC card fare or JR Pass. Visitors who regularly use the Yamanote Line should keep a Suica or PASMO IC card topped up alongside the Greater Tokyo Pass for these journeys.
What day trips can I take with the Greater Tokyo Pass?
The pass covers day trips to Enoshima Island and the Shonan coast (Odakyu), Mt. Takao hiking (Keio), Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita (Keisei), the Zushi and Hayama coast near Kamakura (Keikyu), Yokohama's Minatomirai waterfront (Minatomirai Line), Odaiba across the Rainbow Bridge (Yurikamome), and destinations in Saitama and Chiba prefectures on Seibu, Tobu, and Tokyo Metro lines.
Can children use the Greater Tokyo Pass?
Yes — children aged 6 to 11 travel at the child fare, and children aged 1 to 5 (toddlers) travel free at a rate of up to 2 toddlers per paying adult. Infants under 1 year travel free regardless of the number. Adult fare applies to all passengers aged 12 and above.
How do I use the Greater Tokyo Pass at station gates?
The Greater Tokyo Pass is loaded onto a PASMO Passport card and used by simply tapping the card on the reader at station gates — exactly like a regular IC card. An active internet connection must be maintained while using the pass, and taking screenshots to board is strictly prohibited. If your phone runs out of battery at a station gate on exit, you will be charged the regular fare from your boarding station.
How many people can travel on one Greater Tokyo Pass?
Up to 8 passengers can travel simultaneously on a single presentation of the Greater Tokyo Pass — however all passengers must board and exit together at every station. Splitting into separate groups or travelling independently on one pass is not permitted.
Do I need to book the Greater Tokyo Pass in advance?
Advance booking is recommended to secure the best rate and have your pass ready to collect immediately on arrival in Japan. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 18% on the standard rate with instant confirmation. The pass can be collected at Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Ikebukuro, Ueno, Shinagawa, and Shinjuku stations — and if you need a PASMO Passport card, purchase both at the same counter on arrival.
