Three local currencies that can be used when sightseeing in Tokyo!
- Hachipay
A local currency application that can be used only in Shibuya Ward. Points redeemed at the time of payment vary depending on the time of the campaign. Currently, 8% points are given until October 31, 2024! (888 points / 1 time)
In addition to shopping, points worth 3,000 yen per 10,000 yen are given as a tax return gift for taxpayers in hometowns!
In the past, Hachi-Pay digital gift certificates with a premium of 15,000 yen for 10,000 yen were sold exclusively to Shibuya Ward residents!
Points are awarded immediately, and the expiration date can be checked in the application.
- Setagaya Pay
A local currency app that can only be used in Setagaya Ward. Campaigns are held almost every month, and the point redemption rate is very high, ranging from 5% to 20%!
*Please be sure to check in advance as redemption rates vary depending on the campaign period and the store where the payment is made.
*Please check in advance as rewards points will vary depending on the campaign period and the store where the payment is made.
- Itabashi Pay
ItabashiPay is a local currency application that can be used only in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo. 1% point redemption rate is low from April 1, 2024, but in the past, a one-month limited campaign of 30% redemption was held twice, which is a unique high redemption rate!

Points are awarded on the 15th of the following month after the month-end closing date, and expire at the end of the year following the date of award.
