How can I buy Septa train tickets?

Should I buy train tickets online to travel around in Tokyo, Japan area?

  • I plan on staying in Nerima-ku, Tokyo. I also plan in visiting places like Akihabara, Shinjuku and any other place similar to these. So, I was wondering if I should buy train tickets online (which will cost me almost $800 USD for 21 days and I plan on staying for 30 days) or should I just buy train tickets locally? Thanks for the help!

  • Answer:

    If you are only going within Tokyo, then you can get a subway day pass for all lines for about 1000 yen. If you want to travel all over the Kanto area, or even farther up to Aomori, then you might look into getting a JR East Pass. See http://www.japanrailpass.net for more info. The full JR Pass which you need to get before going to Japan is worth it only for long distance travel across the country and back. If you are staying in Japan for 30 days and only staying in Tokyo, it would be quite a shame - if you haven't seen it all before, it is well worth going - also quick and efficient.

If you are staying in Tokyo only, it makes no sense to purchase a 21 day JR pass. Pay as you go locally in Tokyo, you should consider purchasing a Suica or Pasmo card once you get into Tokyo. These are prepai cards like debit cards, you load money onto the cards and the money is deducted each time you need to ride the trains, it saves you time vs buying a new ticket each time you ride the train. Can be purchased inside Tokyo at the ticket machines.

What kind of ticket are you talking about? You don't need JR Pass if you stay in Tokyo. JR Pass is good only if you take long distance trains many times.
