Limited Express tickets

You can buy multiple tickets on the same smartphone, and you can select multiple seats when purchasing each ticket.

2.Several tickets can be used at the same time on the same smartphone, but each ticket is for one person only. If you want to use several tickets on the same smartphone, you will have to show each of them.

3.The number of users can be specified when purchasing one ticket. This single ticket can be used for the selected number of travellers.

Some tickets of types 1 and 2 can be purchased by a representative and transferred to other users like children. You can check what tickets are compatible with the transfer function and how to transfer a ticket on the following page.

Limited Express tickets

If the Romancecar Limited Express service for which you purchased a ticket from Odakyu’s digital ticket purchase website (EMot Online Tickets) is cancelled on the whole route, then your ticket will be automatically refunded. Note that a handling fee will be incurred temporarily if you perform the refund procedure by yourself before the automatic refund, but the fee will be refunded minimum 2 days after it has been confirmed that the whole route of the applicable Romancecar has been suspended. No action is required from your side.

Tickets other than Limited Express tickets

If your trip is cancelled due to an accident in the service, please report the details to the station staff and contact the EMot Support Desk. Refunds are not possible if alternate transportation is available.

The Odakyu Tokyo Metro Pass is a Discount Pass allowing unlimited rides on all Tokyo Metro lines and between Shinjuku and Yoyogi-Uehara Stations on the Odakyu Lines, and including a round-trip ticket for the Odakyu Lines. Also receive special treatment and discounts at many tourist locations, restaurants and more in Tokyo when you show your pass. The pass is valid for only 1 day and the price depends on the departing station on the Odakyu Lines. Purchase can be made from ticket vending machines and station windows at Odakyu Line stations (excluding between Shinjuku and Yoyogi-Uehara Stations) and at most Odakyu Travel offices. Contact a station staff member at an Odakyu Line station window for further details.

The Hakone Freepass departing from Shinjuku includes a round-trip ticket for use between Shinjuku and Odawara. However, the Hakone Freepass departing from Odawara does not include a ticket on the Odakyu Lines and therefore a ticket must be purchased separately to ride the Odakyu Lines. Other Discount Passes departing from an Odakyu station include round-trip passage from the departing station to Odawara Station. To ride the Romancecar, a limited express ticket must be purchased separately regardless of the Discount Pass.

Discount Passes and other excursion passes are valid from 1 to 3 days depending on the pass purchased. The date of purchase is considered the first day of the period of validity, regardless of the actual time of purchase. In the case of a 2-day Hakone Freepass, for example, the period of validity ends after the last train/bus service on the following day. Please note that 2 days does not mean 48 hours.
