The Tokyo Start Kit is a special passenger ticket with a new concept to solve problems of overseas travellers visiting Tokyo such as:
- Knowing which hospital to visit when sick or injured
- Communication while at hospital
- The high costs of medical treatment in Japan
The ticket aims to help travellers enjoy their stay in Tokyo in a safer and more convenient way.
