JRPass

Hi Francine,

The Japan Rail Pass can't be used on Subways. It can be used on JR operated lines such as the Yamanote line in Tokyo. the Yamanote line is pretty handy for getting around the city, but the metro system will let you get around a little bit easier, and if you wait to activate your Japan Rail Pass until you leave Tokyo, is pretty good value for money.

Tokyo metro has a pretty excellent website in English where you can get a bit more info on lines, prices and things.
