Tokyo metropolitan district pass(TMDP), called Tokunai pass in Japanese is a one day pass which allows unlimited rides on local and rapid JR East trains (excluding reserved seats) within the 23 Special Wards of Tokyo.
23 special wards cover major stations in Tokyo such as Asakusa, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, Ginza, Akihabara, Ikebukuro and of course Tokyo station. However, TMDP is valid only for JR stations in these 23 special wards, which means Asakusa, Roppongi and Ginza which are not served by JR are not valid for this pass.
The areas which can be used are:
1)Chuo and Sobu main lines between Nishi-Ogikubo and Koiwa.
2)Yamanote line
3)Saikyo line between Osaki and Ukima-funado
4)Keihin Tohoku line between Kamata and Akabane
5)Keiyo line between Tokyo and Kasai Rinkai-koen

However, please be aware when you buy the ticket at ticket machine, the validity of the pass is the day of the purchase, which means you cannot buy the pass for tomorrow.
