^{TAMAMONO Supporting Child-raising Project Part 2!}
TAMAMONO Child One Day Pass will be available again in summer with unlimited rides for just 100 yen!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is implementing the TAMAMONO Supporting Child-raising project in cooperation with Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail Co., Ltd. (under the direction of President Daigo Yuji at the head office in Tachikawa City, Tokyo), aiming to vitalize the Tama area by creating a child-friendly environment to attract more visitors.
The TAMAMONO Child One Day Pass was sold during the extended holiday period in May. This pass will be sold with a new design extending the sales period and ticket offices for the summer holiday period.
In addition, the Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail will hold a quiz rally (information treasure hunt) “The Letter of Challenges from Tamao,” for visitors touring facilities along the line.
Please use the pass to make the best use of this opportunity.
