Hey guys need some help regarding the trains in Tokyo.
I'm going to Japan in March and my friends and I are ONLY going to be travelling within Tokyo for 6 days.

If I buy a one-day metro pass, does it include all lines?

There are also JR lines within Tokyo (Not outbound to other states). Do I still need to buy a JR rail pass to take these trains? Cos it seems ridiculous to pay like 30000 Yen just to travel for 6 days within Tokyo, considering some of these trains need only like a few hundred yen from station to station.

Please please help. If someone can give me a brief but complete explanation on what tickets to buy or any recommendations for ticket packages, I would be very very grateful.

You do not need to get the rail pass if you are only travelling in Tokyo.

Actually, you could probably just use single tickets on each train trip and that way you don't even need to worry about if the metro pass covers the particular line you are travelling on as there is not a single ticket that covers everything. Just get the right ticket from the right machine - easy when only one company serves a station, but that is not always the case.

Patrick san,
Thank you for the post.
That is one of good ideas.

I think you should get PASMO which covers all JR lines, subways and buses in Tokyo.
Please refer to the site below.

If you have the prepaid card, the fee is cheaper than single tickets.
Bending machine has English, too
