WLC train experience

With the trip with Jacob (my son), I wanted to stay around Tokyo for the most part. I also wanted to focus on using the Subway system for the most part of this trip. So I purchases a 72 Tokyo Subway pass.

 

 

My goal was to solely use the Toei and Tokyo Metro subway lines. While that was the goal, it eventually got crazy and we used a few different railways.  I knew I would use the JR for a few rides because we were gonna go to Yokohama for a day.

Our place of stay was near the Iidabashi station.
