• The Chichibu Yuyu Free Kippu is a digital ticket bought in the EMot smartphone app (Japanese). Payment requires a registered credit card.
• Tokyo subway passes went up on March 14, 2026, as announced on January 30, 2026 (Tokyo Metropolitan Government announcement, Japanese). The common one-day ticket went from ¥900 to ¥1,100, and the Tokyo Free Kippu from ¥1,600 to ¥1,720.
• Tobu’s NIKKO PASS is a ticket for foreign visitors. Travelers living in Japan should look at the digital passes in the Tochigi section below.

3. Kanagawa passes

Hakone Freepass

The ropeway one way (¥2,000) and the pirate ship one way (¥1,700) alone come to ¥3,700, which covers 60% of the ¥6,000 pass from Odawara. You use the rest on the Hakone Tozan Railway, the cable car and buses, so the pass suits a full loop of Hakone with a little more travel the next day.

On the Odakyu Hakone Freepass price search (Japanese), a pass from Odawara is ¥6,000 for 2 days (child ¥1,500) and ¥6,400 for 3 days (child ¥1,750). From Shinjuku, 3 days is ¥7,500 (child ¥1,850). From Machida, 2 days is ¥6,820. On a day when you only go to Hakone-Yumoto for a hot spring and skip the ropeway, the pass is hard to use up. For places to stay, see 12 onsen inns in Hakone (Japanese).

Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass

The Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass is a discounted round-trip ticket from your Odakyu Line starting station to Fujisawa, plus unlimited rides on the Odakyu Line between Fujisawa and Katase-Enoshima and on all Enoden lines. On the Odakyu price search (Japanese), it is ¥1,640 from Shinjuku, ¥1,180 from Machida and ¥810 from Fujisawa. A child pays ¥430 even from Shinjuku. From Fujisawa it is ¥810, only ¥10 more than Noriorikun, so it is handy on days when you also use Odakyu’s Katase-Enoshima Station.

Enoden one-day ticket Noriorikun

On the Enoden fare search (Japanese), Fujisawa to Enoshima is ¥220, Enoshima to Kamakurakokomae ¥200, Kamakurakokomae to Hase ¥220 and Hase to Kamakura ¥200, a total of ¥840.

Both are valid for 2 days, with unlimited rides on the Odakyu Line between Hon-Atsugi and Shibusawa and on designated sections of Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu buses. From Machida, ticket A is ¥2,060 and ticket B is ¥1,100. Oyama is also in 10 beginner hiking courses in Kanto (Japanese).
