So lesson is if you have those all day Tokyo subway pass, just go in and get to Narita and use the fare adjustment machine to work out the difference!
By the way, I just went to Japan for 9 days and had a fantastic time. Now I know why people love going to Japan, especially for Asians ..... Maybe I should write a TR about it ......

Well I found out last week (in my first trip in Japan) if you have a Tokyo Toei Subway All Day pass (700Yen), and catch from say Shimbashi to Narita Airport in their commuter Keisei trains, I ended up only paying 950Yen to pay for the difference using the fare adjustment machines at the Airport! If I pay at Shimbashi I would have to pay 1100Yen. Not that it makes a big difference but hey it is worth a 150Yen drink at those common vendor machines!

The fare adjustment probably calculate the rate from Oshiage (End of Toei Asakusa line), hence the 950 yen
Can't wait for your TR!

Well I've just started my TR in the TR section. It could take some time before it is complete though
