Cents-per-mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

Travel tips

Small things travellers like to know about Tokyo.

  • Buy a Suica or Pasmo IC card on arrival — both work on JR, Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway, buses, and at convenience stores.
  • Tokyo Metro 24/48/72-hour passes are sold at the airport and are economical if your itinerary is metro-heavy.
  • Cash is still common at small restaurants and shrines; carry a few thousand yen even if you mostly use cards.
  • Haneda (HND) is closer to central Tokyo than Narita (NRT) — the Keikyu line reaches Shinagawa in about 15 minutes.
  • Reserve shinkansen seats in advance for peak holiday weeks (Golden Week, Obon, year-end); unreserved cars can fill quickly.
