Tokyo Subway e-Tickets for 24/48/72 Hour (QR Code Ticket)

About this experience

Book Tokyo Subway tickets for 24, 48 or 72 hours and ride every Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway line as often as you like, using one QR code on your smartphone. There is no IC card to buy and no need to queue at a ticket machine. You pick the length, press "Start Use" when you are ready and scan the QR code at the ticket gate. It is a simple way to move between Shinjuku, Shibuya, Asakusa, Ginza, Ueno and Akihabara without working out a fare for every ride. What Your Tokyo Subway e-Ticket Covers The ticket gives unlimited rides on all 13 Tokyo subway lines: the 9 Tokyo Metro lines (Ginza, Marunouchi, Hibiya, Tozai, Chiyoda, Yurakucho, Hanzomon, Namboku and Fukutoshin) and the 4 Toei Subway lines (Asakusa, Mita, Shinjuku and Oedo). Together they serve around 280 stations, mostly in the 23 central wards of Tokyo, which covers almost every popular sightseeing area. JR lines, including the Yamanote Line, private railways and buses are not included. If your trip continues onto another railway company's line, leave the gates at the transfer station and use a separate ticket for that part of the journey. How to Activate and Use the QR Ticket Before your first ride: open the ticket on your smartphone and press "Start Use" before you reach the ticket gate. At the gate: scan the QR code on the reader of the automatic ticket gate when you enter and when you exit. Validity: the 24, 48 or 72 hours start the first time you go through a ticket gate. You can start on any day within 90 days of purchase. Stations without a QR reader: at a few stations shared with other railway companies, the gates may not have a QR reader yet. Ask the station staff at the gate, who will show you a QR code to scan with "QR Scan" on your ticket screen, or use the intercom at the gate. Where the Subway Pass Takes You in Tokyo With unlimited rides, it is easy to fit several neighbourhoods into one day. Take the Ginza Line to Asakusa for Senso-ji, ride on to Ueno for the museums and the park, then head to Shibuya or Shinjuku for the evening. Oshiage Station, on the Hanzomon and Asakusa lines, is the stop for Tokyo Skytree, so the pass pairs well with Tokyo Skytree observatory tickets. For Tokyo Tower entry tickets, get off at Akabanebashi on the Oedo Line or Kamiyacho on the Hibiya Line. Roppongi, Ginza and Tsukiji are all on the network too, and you can find more things to do in Tokyo to plan the rest of your trip around the subway map. Tips Before You Book Your Tokyo Subway Ticket Choose 48 or 72 hours if you are staying a few days. On a busy sightseeing day with several rides, the pass usually costs less than paying single fares. Use the ticket on the smartphone where it is stored. Printed QR codes and screenshots are not accepted at the gates. Make sure your phone has enough battery. If the ticket screen cannot be shown, you need to pay a normal single fare. Travelling as a group? Tickets bought together can be sent to each traveller's smartphone before first use, so everyone can travel separately. The ticket is designed for visitors from overseas and travellers coming from outside Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures. These tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, so check your travel dates before you book.
