Is it worth it?

Add the normal one-way fares of the rides you plan within 1 day (from the fare charts at stations or a route planner).

    Express, seat and Green car charges are usually not included in a pass: leave them out of the fares too unless the pass covers them.

    How to use it

    1. Ride the Minato Line (Katsuta – Ajigaura) as often as you like on the day. Even one Katsuta – Ajigaura round trip costs less with this ticket.
    2. From an unstaffed station, board without a ticket and buy the pass from the crew on the train or at the Katsuta or Nakaminato gate.
