In Tokyo, the JR Pass and the JR TOKYO Wide Pass cover an extensive network of lines operated by East Japan Railway Company. The most famous is the Yamanote Line, the green-colored loop that connects major hubs like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Tokyo Station, and Ueno. Other key covered lines include the Chuo-Sobu Line (running east-west across the city), the Keihin-Tohoku Line (connecting to Yokohama), and the Saikyo Line. Crucially, the JR Pass also covers the Narita Express (N'EX) for airport transfers and the Tokyo Monorail to Haneda Airport. It is important to distinguish that JR lines are not the same as the Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway; while these systems often share stations, they are separate companies and require a different ticket or an IC card (like Suica) unless you have a specific "all-company" pass. In 2026, JR also covers the Shinkansen (bullet trains) departing from Tokyo and Ueno stations, such as the Tohoku and Joetsu lines, though the Tokaido Shinkansen (to Kyoto/Osaka) is only covered by the national JR Pass, not the regional Tokyo-only passes.
