Tokyo Metro's 'Mobile Pass' Officially Launched

If you've planned a trip to Tokyo, you've likely experienced the hassle: arriving tired, heading into the city, and then dealing with QR codes and printing physical tickets at machines. But the game has officially changed. Introducing the 'Tokyo Metro Mobile Pass'. Forget searching for ticket machines or station staff; now, navigate Tokyo's vast subway network freely with just your smartphone.


Instant Access, Use Right After Arrival

The biggest draw of this mobile pass is its immediacy. Previously, even with an online purchase, you had to exchange it for a physical card on-site. Now, after purchasing from WAUG, simply register the digital pass you receive in your smartphone's Wallet app or a dedicated app. You can use it the moment you arrive at Narita or Haneda Airport and enter the city. No more fumbling for physical tickets at the ticket gate or worrying about losing them. Just tap the back of your smartphone on the ticket sensor and unlock unlimited travel on all Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines. It’s a seamless experience.


The Smart Traveler's Choice

The mobile Tokyo Metro Pass retains all the powerful benefits of its predecessor. With systems valid for exactly 24, 48, or 72 hours from the first use, you can plan your travel most efficiently according to your itinerary.

Enjoy brunch in Shinjuku early in the morning, go shopping in Ginza in the afternoon, and catch the night view in Asakusa – don't worry about transportation costs. With the mobile pass, you won't need to buy a new ticket for each transfer, saving you significant time and money. A major advantage is the ability to check the remaining validity time in real-time on your smartphone screen, allowing for planned travel right up to your last day. This is a key benefit only the mobile pass offers.

Instead of getting lost with complex route maps, try linking your smartphone's Google Maps with the mobile pass. The optimized route guidance combined with the ease of passing through with a single tap will make you feel like a sophisticated 'Tokyo Walker', more so than a local. The 15 minutes saved by skipping the cumbersome exchange process could give you the luxury of enjoying an extra cup of coffee at a charming cafe in Shibuya.
