Autumn in Japan means beautifully colored trees and pleasantly crisp air, making it the perfect season for walking around the city! Additionally, there are many seasonal ingredients in autumn, so going around trying all the different delicacies is also a great choice. As such, this article will introduce a sightseeing plan for Tokyo in the autumn, featuring delicious gourmet foods and walks through fun tucked-away secret places!

If you want to travel efficiently around Tokyo, your best bet is taking advantage of the subway and bus lines. The “Toei One-day Pass (Toei Marugoto Kippu)” from Toei Transportation (Toei Subway, Toei Bus, Tokyo Sakura Tram [Toden Arakawa Line], etc.) gives you unlimited rides for 1 day, making it both convenient and economical!

What is the Toei One-day Pass (Toei Marugoto Kippu)?

Valid for one full day, it offers unlimited access to Toei subways. This allows users to freely hop on and off Toei buses (including the Tama area), the Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line), and the Nippori-Toneri Liner. Mastering the Toei lines enables users to make their way smoothly without missing anything that Tokyo has to offer.
