  • Do you use bank note to buy ticket or only change?

  • All of Japan's bank notes are accepted (1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 yen)

  • Do they have a monthly ticket or so in Tokyo? I mean something like a fixed price subway flatrate?

  • You can buy a monthly pass, but I don't use one. I believe they work like a debit card (subtracted from the starting amount) or from a set fare (for example, it will only work if you travel from Station X to Station Y) but I could be wrong since I don't use them.

    The two most popular commuter passes they sell are called Suica and Passnet. Passnet might have changed its name, though.

  • The only other language available is English, but only sometimes.

  • i am looking for for some info about the buying products on youtube, thanks for the educated remark.

  • Cool vid man! I really want to go there again someday.

  • @Gazza2 nope. i live in canada. yes, i agree fares are like 2.75 standard for bus fares where i live and where i used to live (from alberta to nova scotia)

  • @TlGBC I'm guessing you're from the US? I remember a ride on a bus in LA costing $1.25 which I thought was very cheap. But in other countries with more buses+trains tend to be more expensive. As the saying goes you get what you pay for...

  • 230 yen? thats almost 3 bucks where i live! thats kinda a lot.. or wait? is that for how many rides?

  • これは綾瀬駅ですね

  • It's 1,1 euros in Helsinki

  • Is this at Minami-Senju Station??

  • whats is stahion

  • The Passnet card ended its service because a new computer chip card called Pasmo became available all over Tokyo along with the Suica.

    Pasmo and Suica are pretty much the same in and around Tokyo, so you'll only need either one of them.
