Tokyo 1-Day Ticket: JR, subway and bus coverage

Compare it with individual fares if you plan several JR, subway and Toei bus journeys in one day. For an itinerary using only JR, also compare the Tokunai Pass. A day ticket does not necessarily save money if you make only a few journeys.

The table shows official JPY prices, separate from the seller’s price and display currency. Adults are aged 12 or over; children are aged 6–11.

Choose the day you will travel and check the valid date printed on your ticket. This is a one-day ticket.

The ticket remains valid after midnight until the last train.

JR coverage is limited to unreserved seats in Ordinary Cars on designated local and rapid trains within Tokyo · 東京’s 23 wards. Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway, the Nippori-Toneri Liner · 日暮里・舎人ライナー and Tokyo Sakura Tram · 東京さくらトラム are included. This is not a nationwide pass covering all railways around Tokyo.

Eligible Toei buses are included, but late-night and reserved-seat buses are excluded. Do not assume that buses run by other companies are covered.

Buy from a JR EAST reserved-seat ticket machine within the ticket’s coverage area. The JR TOKYO Wide Pass is a different product with different days and routes.

For a JR-issued ticket, an unused ticket still within its validity can have its start date changed once at a JR sales location’s ticket office. JR cannot change or refund tickets sold by Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway. An unused ticket within its validity may be refunded at a supported JR ticket office for a JPY 220 fee. The product rules exclude refunds for train cancellations and delays. Check the rules for your purchase channel before using the ticket.

Shinkansen and BRT are excluded. Within the covered JR area, local and rapid Ordinary Car unreserved seats are included; eligible conventional limited expresses, Green Car or reserved seats require the relevant supplementary ticket.

The JR map includes Nishi-Ogikubo · 西荻窪, Ukimafunado · 浮間舟渡, Kanamachi · 金町, Koiwa · 小岩, Kasairinkaikoen · 葛西臨海公園 and Kamata · 蒲田 at its edges. A through train beyond the area does not extend the ticket’s coverage.

The general product conditions describe Suica and Mobile Suica, but JR EAST’s 16 March 2026 notice suspended their Tokyo Free ticket sales following incorrect bus and tram deductions. That notice remains linked from the current important-notices page; a restart has not been confirmed for this guide. The notice says paper tickets are unaffected and directs travellers to buy them at a ticket machine.
