Tokyo City Pass Tickets

The Tokyo City Pass bundles admission to a selection of the capital’s attractions into one digital purchase, sold in one, two and three day versions, with a Plus tier that widens the list of included sights. For visitors planning to stack several paid attractions into a short stay, it replaces a wallet of individual tickets with a single code on your phone.

How the pass works

After purchase you activate the pass on first use, and validity runs for the chosen number of days from that point. Entry at participating venues is by showing the pass at the gate, with no ticket counters involved at most sights. Because participating attractions and conditions change over time, always check the current inclusion list against your own itinerary before buying, and note whether any venue on your list requires an advance timeslot reservation.

Getting your money’s worth

Passes like this reward dense sightseeing days. Tally the walk up prices of the attractions you would genuinely visit; if the pass beats that number, or gets close while saving queue time, it earns its place. Travellers whose Tokyo plans revolve around free shrines, parks and neighbourhoods often do better paying per attraction.

Getting around

The pass covers attractions rather than transport, so pair it with a Suica or Pasmo IC card for trains and buses. Most included sights cluster within reach of the Yamanote loop and the subway network, which keeps travel time between them short.
