When the weather is good, you can see every corner of Tokyo. You must buy the ticket early, especially if you want to see the scenery both during the day and at night.

This is a must-have Metro Pass if you are traveling in Tokyo, where you can't transfer and the subway fare is expensive. If you purchase it, you will receive a voucher like the attached photo, and you can easily receive it by scanning the QR code at a specific station in Tokyo. I highly recommend it!
