Tokyo Metro Pass Purchase Price

I highly recommend purchasing a Tokyo Metro Pass for your trip. Subway fares in Japan can add up quickly, so a pass is a smart way to save money and enjoy unlimited rides on the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines. For my recent 2-night, 3-day trip to Tokyo, I knew I'd be using the subway extensively, so I opted for the 72-hour pass.

The Tokyo Metro Pass comes in different durations, each with a corresponding price:

24-hour pass: Around ~$5
48-hour pass: Around ~$8
72-hour pass: Around ~$10

I managed to get my 72-hour pass for approximately ~$10 after applying a discount coupon. It was definitely worth it!

Tokyo Metro Pass Exchange Stations

While there are several stations where you can exchange your Tokyo Metro Pass, I used Ueno-Okachimachi Station. After arriving at Keisei Ueno Station from Narita Airport via the Skyliner, it was just a short walk to the subway ticket machines at Ueno-Okachimachi Station to pick up my pass.

My accommodation was near Ryogoku Station, so I followed the signs for the Toei Oedo Line (marked 'E').

📍 Ueno-Okachimachi Station
5 Chome-26-6 Ueno, Taito City, Tokyo 110-0005 Japan

You can exchange your Tokyo Metro Pass at any station that operates Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway lines. Popular exchange locations include Ginza Station, Asakusa Station, and Shinjuku Station, among others! Since the Oedo Line (which I needed) runs through Ueno-Okachimachi Station, it was a convenient spot for me to exchange my pass.

※ Important: Keisei Ueno Station is NOT an exchange point ※

If you arrive at Keisei Ueno Station, you'll need to transfer to a Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway station to exchange your pass. Simply follow the signs for the Ginza, Hibiya, or Oedo lines, which are conveniently connected to Keisei Ueno Station.

How to Exchange Your Tokyo Metro Pass

Exchanging your Tokyo Metro Pass is straightforward, done via a special subway ticket vending machine. Look for machines clearly marked with a QR code symbol – regular ticket machines won't work!

Even better, these machines support English, so you won't have any trouble navigating the process. First, select the option with the QR code image on the screen.

Next, simply scan the QR code you received from your online booking platform (like the one from your MyRealTrip purchase). Hold it up to the scanner, and the machine will read it.

Confirm the number of people and the ticket type, then press 'OK'.

After a brief moment, your physical Tokyo Metro Pass will be issued. Remember, this is a physical card, not a QR code, so you'll need the actual pass to enter the subway gates. The good news is, with English support and clear instructions, the exchange process is incredibly easy!

Plus, there are often station staff nearby who can offer assistance if you encounter any issues.

While the voucher you purchase online might have a one-year validity, the actual usage period begins when you first use the physical pass. The start and end times will be printed on the back of your card.

For instance, I activated my 72-hour pass on July 19, 2026, around 3:00 PM, which meant it was valid until July 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM. This perfectly aligned with my 3-day itinerary, as my flight departed on the afternoon of July 21.

Always double-check your flight schedule and choose the pass duration that best fits your travel plans!

Although the Tokyo Metro Pass doesn't cover JR lines, it was incredibly useful for my 2-night, 3-day trip, allowing me unlimited rides on the eligible subway lines. Just remember to always keep your pass handy when entering and exiting stations!

Thanks to the pass, I even got to ride a cute Miffy-themed subway car and reached my accommodation quickly and without hassle.

For any Tokyo adventure, I consider the Tokyo Metro Pass an absolute must-have!
