It's very convenient because you can get your money's worth even if you ride just a little bit, and you only have to pay an additional fare for places like Kawasaki. I used to wonder how long I would ride, but now I don't think about that and just buy and ride on additional days. Without this, Tokyo would be hell...

The Seibu Railway One-Day Pass is very useful. I took the Laview Express train with an extra-paid reserved seat (900 yen one-way) and was able to visit Mitsumine Shrine and Mitsumigami Icicles in one day. It was well worth it.
