both different items wor  sweat.gif

suica is just a convenient way to board trains without lining up to buy tickets each time round.
JR pass is another thing altogether.
since i would like to do good in this thread.
I would advise, if you would be only going around Tokyo and Hakone area.

Suica + Hakone travel pass is enough.

JR pass never pays off if you dont roam far enough cross country.

You only need JR Pass if you travel out of Tokyo then back to Tokyo i.e. Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Nagano, Gifu...
If you are not going to these place, then your JR pass would not pay off...

So basically Suica is like our touch n go? It doesn't actually save money only saves time?

Kanto pass cannot used on Kawaguchi / fuji Because this area transport are Private company Fujikyo Monopoly. Going Disney are Metro so Kanto pass are useless. Tobu pass are much useful at Nikko.
Basically Kanto pass useless.

RegentCid,

great, good advice. will drop kanto pass then.

hv check on the 2days nikko pass (2670Y). i will take this;
disneyland, will travel by metro;

pls advise further, do they have anything ie pass like the nikko pass that covers kawaguchi/mt fuji. or how best should i cover this after i drop kanto pass?

Yes that's right. No savings, at u would need to pay a certain amount to buy the card but it will be refundable when u return the card at the end of your trip.

If you are going to hakone, use the hakone free pass.
If going to Nikko, the Nikko Tobu pass is good.

Basically going as a tourist in Japan will open up so much possibilities for all kind of passes but all these passes usually require you to make long trips to get the value back.

Even unlimited metro in Tokyo will not pay off unless u decide to move around the city at least a minimum of 5 times a day and with the many different operators of some lines in Japan.

The metro pass might not pay off as you may need to take one big round to get to point a to point b just cause of the unlimited thing where else if you pay a normal fare. U may half your journey time as there is a more direct train.

sifus,

would it be possible for one day trip to Kamakura + Enoshima? worth it to purchase Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass?

i will be staying in Hakone for 1 night and plan to go Fuji Q highland next day. should i purchase Fuji Hakone Pass or i just go with the Hakone Pass plus paying extra transport to Fuji Q? it might not really worth it as i don't really explore Fuji surrounding area right?

Maybe you could do a comparison of price. If its cheaper, then go ahead and get it. Its only 3-4 months away.

Its better to buy earlier smile.gif

Don't think it'll be much of a diff.

I don't remember them selling USJ tickets at Matta fair. JR Pass was slightly cheaper but not much difference la.
