Public Transport Tickets in Tokyo

Really well managed. Big crowd, but it didn't feel crowded. You get to play in the art and each room is different. The orchids were particularly lovely because of the smell and wading among the colourful 'fish' was magical. Well worth a visit and so glad we booked ahead because it was sold out when we went mid week.

The ability to get on and off the train was good. I thought the price of a two-day ticket was extremely affordable. It was somewhat confusing as a tourist to understand how the train lines differ. It was confusing to understand which lines were available to ride or where to exchange tickets.

Car was clean n right on schedule. The exchange of tickets n reservation was a bit complicated, but the price is of good value.

Great to reserve seats for each segment of travel The only down side was we could only book tickets 6 times with the machine then had to go to the ticket counter. Had to stand in line for over an hour one time. The machines should allow at least bookings before having to go to the counter

Site easy to understand mainly what is included or not in the pass. also the purchacing experience was very easy and intuitive

So far so good but there was a little hassle in the beginning when I went to the JR station to exchange the email receipt with the Hokkaido rail pass. The staff found that the same name was printed for all 3 tickets even though I have emailed the names of all 3 passengers so she had to call the JR main office to confirm before printing it out which took quite some time and caused a delay in our itinerary.

In the station that I went, I can't redeem the ticket from the machine because it's not accept the QR code, so I had to redeem from the ticket office and finally I got my tickets!

It was quite convenient to have these tickets. Claiming the Skyliner tickets were easy, both times -- at the airport and the Ueno (city) station to go back. The 72-Hour unlimited ticket though--OMG, what a long and tiring way to get/"claim" it at Shibuya station. Maybe if I'd gone to or come from a smaller station, it would've been easier. Then on the Skyliner, yes, it's nice, fast, good price (and even better when buying here on Headout, when it's discounted), but the interval time was quite long, so if your timing isn't good, you'll wait a really long time for your ride. Meanwhile, for the 72-Hour subway unlimited ride, it really is only worth it if you travel a lot. But if you are staying at a hotel that's centrally located and will stay in and walk around the area, then you can't use the ticket much, and it wasn't so worth the time claiming it, besides the cost. It's my own fault to not have done enough research or made decisions on what to do before I decided to buy. Otherwise, this purchase made traveling in Tokyo convenient (definitely having an unlimited card saves time vs. buying every journery--unless you have that Suica/IC Card, which it turned out I did from my 2014 trip which still worked) and helped saved some money.
