I honestly wish I knew about this the first time I came to Tokyo. It saved me so much money. I still needed the suica card for JR lines, but the fact that I had unlimited access to the Tokyo Metro lines was mind blowing. Would definitely recommend and do this again and again on my next trip to Japan.

A 5-minute walk to Da Cong JR Station, very convenient, lots of food options nearby, with convenience stores. The hotel opened in 2025, so it's very new.

You can exchange your pass directly at the counter after landing at Narita Airport, which is convenient and fast. It's a very cost-effective option for planning trips to various attractions in the Tohoku region, considering the overall transportation. I would definitely consider purchasing it again!
