Hi, Im planning to use the Hokuriku Arch Pass.
1) Can this pass be used for subway lines inside the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka?
2)Also would you recommend going through this arch or purchasing the Tokyo wide pass to see Niko and Mt. Fuji instead?
Hokuriku Arch Pass

Hi there,
1) Can this pass be used for subway lines inside the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka?
The Osaka-Tokyo Hokuriku Arch Pass cannot be used on subway lines.
2) Also would you recommend going through this arch or purchasing the Tokyo wide pass to see Niko and Mt. Fuji instead?
It depends on which part of Japan you would like to visit.
The Hokuriku Arch Pass is a long-distance pass meant for travel between Tokyo and the Kansai region (Osaka/Kyoto) via the Hokuriku area.
The JR Tokyo Wide Pass is a perfect choice for your trips to Nikko and Mt. Fuji, as it is designed for travel within the wider Tokyo region and covers the train lines to both destinations.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
