Loved ur vid- Question: I saw you buy the Tokyo wide pass the day you arrived and the following day you went to your destinations, Gala, Mt Fuji , and the rest . I heard one needs to reserve tickets in the shinkensen trains like two months in advance, is it true? Or Can I reserve my tickets one day in advance? Would appreciate your guidance.
@@tobiasbrizuela1312 Thank you! You can reserve tickets one day in advance as long as the date does not fall to National Holidays and peak season (Golden week, Obon, Winter Holidays). Besides you can go to the non reserved car (just go earlier than departure) to secure the seat.
Hello .. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information .. would like to ask , does tokyo wide pass also covered to sakura in kawazu ? If it does , which train should be taken ? Also does it cover local train yamanote line ? Thank you 🙏🏻
@@pinoygaijintravels Salamat, also I have another question, the NEX train pass it says it’s valid for 14 days? That’s my understanding from the website. That would be useful because there are a total 5 of us traveling. 3 adults, 1. 16 year old and one 5 years old. I was also looking at the Jr pass for 7 days. We are also planning a quick trip from Tokyo and kyoto round trip. With that alone will spend about 1000 round trip. Plus traveling to Mt fuji and gala yuzawa in December will add up to $1700 + . Not including the base ticket around from Chiba to Tokyo. What would you recommend? Should I buy the NEX ticket along with the Tokyo wide pass and just pay for the tickets going to Kyoto. Or will the JR pass be more useful. Thank you much and I am so sorry for asking too many questions. It will be our first time traveling to Japan.
@@user-ze8xp8si9k Yes, NEX Train pass had 14 days validity. If you are traveling Tokyo to Kyoto roundtrip that is 28,840¥ +15,000 twp + 5000 NEX almost same price with JR railway pass of 50k¥. If you have more long travel using Shinkansen within 7 days then jr pass is worth it. But if your itinerary is just Tokyo, Kyoto Better get NEX, TWP and just choose shinkansen/overnight bus its practical. If you are budget conscious.

@@Khalidestroyer You can use this for JR trains and some local trains. Subways are under Metro which is a separate company, that means a separate pass. If you look at the train map, most of JR and Subways have interchanges, so this pass is good enough.
Yes, you can in mainline but can't fully utilize it since local lines to go around are not JR. Better get the Odakyu Free Pass thats covers Enoshima-Kamakura.
I read the reviews and your reply. Very helpful.
@@user-cl9qm4lt9f Thank you! Glad to know you find this video helpful.

Welcome 😊

Yes it is covered to Kawazu.
Take the Odoriko Express Train from Shinagawa Station to Kawazu
Tokyo Wide Pass covers Yamanote line and other JR lines
I assume this pass will take you directly to Kawaguchiko Stn from Shinjuku without transfer?
@@paulr9591 Yes it goes straight. There are only few running in the morning and afternoon. Better check the train schedule. Tip: Go to Car 1-3
Hi. i want to ask about reserved seat.. is there any additional pay for it?
@@masnurshahirasaleh9287 None as long as its regular seat not the green car.
Hi there I just wanted to ask, can I purchase the tokyo wide pass and the NEX train pass together?
@@user-ze8xp8si9k Yes you can, these are two different tickets. But, If your question is Can I used TWP for NEX train., yes. Just activate your TWP.

Can I use this pass for Tokyo subways? or do I have to buy another Tokyo subway pass?
@@Khalidestroyer You can use this for JR trains and some local trains. Subways are under Metro which is a separate company, that means a separate pass. If you look at the train map, most of JR and Subways have interchanges, so this pass is good enough.
@@pinoygaijintravels Thanks for your reply. The video is very informative.
@@Khalidestroyer Very much welcome ☺️ Enjoy your travel to Japan 😊
Can I use jr tokyo wide pass 3 days to go to kamakura?
Yes, you can in mainline but can't fully utilize it since local lines to go around are not JR. Better get the Odakyu Free Pass thats covers Enoshima-Kamakura.
