Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CityNav app work offline in Tokyo?

Yes. CityNav pre-loads all 13 Tokyo Metro lines with 34+ key stations and interchanges, so route planning works with no internet connection, no roaming data and nothing to download.

What is the best transit app for tourists in Tokyo?

CityNav is built for visitors: offline Tokyo Metro routing, ticket advice (get a suica or pasmo ic card (available in apple wallet instantly) for tap-and-go on every train, subway and bus), AR walking navigation between stations, and an SOS emergency button. Local commuter apps assume knowledge tourists don't have.

Is the Tokyo Subway Ticket worth it for tourists?

Almost always yes if you're sightseeing. The 72-hour version costs around ¥1,500 — roughly the price of 7–8 single rides — and covers all 13 Tokyo Metro and Toei lines with unlimited rides. It does not cover JR lines like the Yamanote loop.

Can I use my phone as a Suica card in Tokyo?

Yes — Suica and Pasmo can be added to Apple Wallet in seconds and topped up with a foreign card (Apple Pay). Android support requires a Japanese-region device, so Android users should buy a physical Welcome Suica at the airport.
