Tokyo Transportation Tips by chatterley

Travelling outside Tokyo for day-trips Rail - In and out of Tokyo by Train Review

We had purchased the JR Pass, so it was a breeze to travel in/out of Tokyo. We took the Shinkansen to visit places like Hakone, Kamakura and Kyoto.

To visit Hakone, we also purchased the Odakyu Free Pass, which allows us unlimited travel on the local transport system.

Here's hubby waiting at the station at Tonosawa for the local train which would take us to Owakudani.

Narita Express

Since we had the JR Pass, we used it to exchange for free Narita Express tickets (each ticket, one-way, would cost 3110 Yen). We took this express train service to and from Narita Airport to Shinjuku. Seats are reserved, and the ride is comfortable and fast. You can eat on board - either buy your own food and bring it onboard, or buy something from the pust-cart lady on the train.

You can buy (or use your JR Pass to exchange) the tickets at the JR station ticket counter.
