For those who prefer taking an Airport Limousine bus from either Haneda Airport or Narita International Airport to Tokyo instead of a train, the "Limousine & Subway Pass" may just be the thing for you.

The “Limousine & Subway Pass” is a new special combination ticket for Airport Limousine buses + Tokyo Metro + Toei Subway lines for visitors arriving at Tokyo’s Narita and Haneda International Airports. 

Two combination ticket packages are available: “Narita Airport Set”, and “Haneda Airport Set”.
