>Transportation Tips in Tokyo.

If you’re staying in Tokyo for a few days, getting either of below at the airport makes your travel easier. Both requires passport to purchase.

●Getting Welcome SUICA for travelers (transportation IC card) at the airport is strongly recommended to get around easily. Convenient in all major cities in Japan. *The issue of regular transportation IC card has been discontinued for unknown period due to shortage of semi-conductors as of 2024 June.

●PASMO PASSPORT has similar function with Welcome Suica. Still available to purchase at some places in the city, but finding ticket office in the city is difficult and time-consuming for most travelers. Getting either of Welcome Suica or PASMO PASSPORT is recommended as of 2024 June.

●Tokyo Subway Ticket（24h / 48h / 72h)

Unlimited travel ticket for Tokyo Metro & Toei Metro (Not available for JR). Best value for Tokyo visitor. But limited line availability.
