Tokyo Nighttime Passport is a new option for tourists visiting the Shibuya and Shinjuku areas! The passport eliminates the hassle from tourists who are trying to find a safe and affordable place to eat. This makes it simple to plan out your food, giving you more time to explore and enjoy the streets of Tokyo! So, how do you go about purchasing and using the passport? This is my step by step guide!

My Thoughts

My first impressions of this passport is that tourists will be able to have a safer experience in Tokyo if they decide to use it! It is a harsh reality in Tokyo that some restaurants will charge a premium price for their meals.  Due to this, tourists who do not understand Japanese can easily be caught off guard. The last thing you want on your holiday is to feel worried about being overcharged everywhere you go. Thus, this may be the option that makes your experience in Japan all the more enjoyable!
