Staying in Hanzomon: What are my subway pass choices?

Omaki · (#1 (**permalink**))

Am I stuck using a Suica card or is there a day pass I can use to get around Tokyo from Hanzomon?

I think these passes would be good for you.

Toei and Tokyo Metro One-Day Economy Pass --> Both Toei and Tokyo Metro
Tokyo Metro Open Ticket --> Tokyo Metro Only
Toei One-Day Economy Pass --> Toei Only

If you are planning to use JR and private lines as well, try Tokyo Free Kippu (1,580 yen). This is good for Toei bus network too.

For more information on JR passes, refer to my posts in this thread.

Do you know corporate colors and line colors of railways in Tokyo?

You can download a map of JR lines in Tokyo here and a subway map here.

Here's a subway map showing only junctions.

Yeah I read that it's recommended that you take the NEX train to Tokyo station then either grab a cab or hop on the subway at the Marunouchi Line to Otemachi then transfer to the Hanzomon Line to the Hanzomon stop.
