Greater Tokyo Pass “SAKURA Campaign” Will Run from March 16
March 11, 2019 Greater Tokyo Pass Council “Greater Tokyo Pass” – Now Even More Convenient and Easier to Use! Greater Tokyo Pass “SAKURA Campaign” Will Run from March 16 (Sat.), 2019! ・Extension of the period of validity to five days for a limited time ・Start of advance sales from the day before the beginning of use all year The Greater Tokyo Pass Council, to which 63 railway and bus companies in Kanto have joined, will run the “SAKURA Campaign.” This campaign will see the period of validity of the “Greater Tokyo Pass” extended to five days for a limited time. This pass is a special ticket for foreign visitors to Japan. It gives users unlimited rides for three days on railways, streetcars and ordinary fixed-route buses in the permitted usage area. The reason for this is that many foreign travelers visit Japan during the cherry blossom season. Therefore, extending the period of validity of the “Greater Tokyo Pass” will allow users to visit even more tourist spots in the Kanto area with plenty of charms. Users will then be able to experience the charms and hospitality of Japan. We will extend the period of validity of a “Greater Tokyo Pass” purchased from March 16 (Sat.) to April 30 (Tue.), 2019 during the period of the “SAKURA Campaign” from three days to five days without changing its sales price. Currently, the “Greater Tokyo Pass” is sold only for use beginning on the same day. However, we will start advance sales from the day before the beginning of use all year from March 16 (Sat.), 2019 – the same day as the start of the “SAKURA Campaign.” With this, users will be able to fully utilize the number of days of the period of validity of the pass from the next day onward regardless of the time they make their purchase when arriving in Japan on flights in the afternoon or at night.

Greater Tokyo Pass Council
March 1, 2018 Greater Tokyo Pass Council 64 railway and bus companies in the Kanto region established the “Greater Tokyo Pass Council” Unlimited Rides on Railways of 12 Participating Private Railway Companies in Kanto Area and Buses of 52 Companies in Metropolitan Tokyo and Surrounding 3 Prefectures! A New Plan Ticket for Foreign Visitors, the “Greater Tokyo Pass” is Scheduled to be Released. On April 1 (Sun.), 2018, the “Greater Tokyo Pass Council” (established on February 28, 2018 – For details, refer to the accompanying page) will initiate sales of the “Greater Tokyo Pass,” a new Plan Ticket for foreign visitors to Japan. The “Greater Tokyo Pass” is a Plan Ticket for three days of unlimited rides on railways and streetcars operated by 12 companies and ordinary fixed-route buses operated by 52 companies in the Kanto area. It will be sold for 7,200 yen for adults and 3,600 yen (tax inclusive) for children at facilities at Narita Airport and Haneda Airport operated by the participating companies and at tourist information centers for foreign visitors at major stations. Purchasers of the “Greater Tokyo Pass” can take advantage of unlimited rides on railways, streetcars, and ordinary fixed-route buses at a set price, enabling them to save money as they enjoy sightseeing in the Kanto area. In addition, one of the difficulties that foreign visitors to Japan face is that they find public transportation systems “too complicated and difficult to use.” However, with the “Greater Tokyo Pass,” they will be able to use a single ticket to ride on railways, streetcars, and ordinary fixed-route buses, making moving around in the Kanto area much more efficient as they will not be required to purchase a new ticket every time they wish to ride again.
