Pricing Analysis & Important Details
01. No Go City or Turbopass product exists in Tokyo
The Tokyo City Pass, run directly by GO TOKYO (the official Tokyo tourism board), is the primary multi-attraction pass here — confirmed directly on the board's own ticketing domain.
02. The Tokyo City Pass is a "choose 1 of 5" pass, not full access to all 5
You select 1 flagship attraction (Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, teamLab Planets, Art Aquarium Museum Ginza, or Tokyo City View) at purchase — the pass does not grant entry to all 5.
03. Sensoji Temple and Meiji Shrine are both completely free, at any time
No pass is needed for either landmark's main grounds — the same pattern already documented for Lyon's Fourvière and Milan's Galleria. Only optional paid extras (like Meiji Shrine's Inner Garden) charge admission.
04. Tokyo has a separate official museum pass worth knowing about
The Tokyo Museum Grutto Pass (2,500 JPY, valid 2 months) covers 100+ museums including the Tokyo National Museum — a genuinely different official product from the Tokyo City Pass, better suited to museum-focused visits.
Which Option Fits Your Visit?
Prioritizing Unlimited Subway Travel
The Tokyo City Pass's bundled subway ticket is valuable on its own for a multi-day stay, even before counting the flagship attraction.
Visiting Just One Flagship Attraction
The pass pays off fastest if your single pick is Tokyo Skytree or teamLab Planets, the priciest of the 5 choices.
A Temple & Shrine Day
Skip any pass — Sensoji Temple and Meiji Shrine are both free to enter for everyone, at any time.
A Museum-Focused Visit
Consider the separate Tokyo Museum Grutto Pass instead, which covers 100+ museums including the Tokyo National Museum.

🗝️ Tokyo's Secret Places
Three hidden spots — verified against GO TOKYO's own official listings.
Nezu-jinja Shrine
A pathway lined with torii gates and koi-filled ponds at one of Tokyo's ten most important shrines — arguably as photogenic as Kyoto's famous Fushimi Inari, with a fraction of the crowds.
Yanaka Cemetery
A quiet, cherry-tree-lined cemetery where Meiji-era painters, authors, and politicians rest — and where locals and their cats treat the paths as an everyday neighborhood stroll.
Gōtoku-ji Temple
Hundreds of small ceramic cat figurines surround a pavilion at the temple where the maneki-neko "lucky cat" legend is said to have begun.
Does your group qualify for a lower price?
Real child, senior and student admission prices at the top sights — before you decide whether a pass is worth it.
