どういたしまして！ One IC Card is required for each person and cannot be used by two people. Therefore, if you have one now, you need to purchase another one.

Great video ! Thanks for that ! I still have a regular Suica Card from my last Japan trip in 2019, if I understood correctly it is valid until 2029 ? and if I use the card again in September this year the validity will be extended to 2034 or will it stay at 2029 ?

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

Your Suica is valid until 2029. The expiration will be extended from the last use. So if you use it in 2024, then it can be used until 2034.

@ayumiejulianayoshiga4418 Месяц назад

Hi, thanks for the tips. The PASMO card is accepted in Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Aichi? I'm going to travel to these places, but I don't know whether to use SUICA or PASMO.

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

The PASMO is definitely accepted in the western part of Japan. If you're flying into Osaka or Aichi, the easiest way to obtain an ICOCA (for Osaka and Kyoto) or TOICA (for Aichi) is through vending machines. Since they are not out of stock, purchasing one is convenient.

@lottie26may 2 месяца назад

Hi Lila, thank you for your helpful information. My question is SUICA and PASMO are exactly the same with charges and usage? I am visiting Kyoto and Fuji area as well, can the card ba able to use for their train and bus? I am arriving at NRT, so I have to get PASMO, but is SUICA is better, I will wait to get that in Tokyo.

@sciros 2 месяца назад

Suica is about the same as Pasmo. I think Suica is a bit more widely accepted, though, once you start going to more remote or very particular areas. I think the Enoden (Shonan area) stations, I was able to recharge some cards (Suica) but not others (Icoca). JR stations in the same areas were able to charge all of them. Oh, the visitor passes... They're Ok for maybe Tokyo JR and for vending machines, but outside Tokyo area the Pasmo Passport doesn't work for transportation reliably.

@ExploreJapanWithLila 2 месяца назад

There is no difference between SUICA and PASMO in basic usage. I have been using only SUICA for over 20 years and have never had a problem. No matter where I shop or where I charge, there is no difference. There is one difference: you cannot add a subway Value Ticket to SUICA. You also cannot add a JR EAST Value Ticket to PASMO. However, Value Ticket can be bought with paper tickets, so this should not be a big problem.

@lottie26may 2 месяца назад

So if Suica is better for Kyoto and Fuji area????

@ExploreJapanWithLila 2 месяца назад

If your fly into Kansai Airport, ICOCA is the choice. You can buy it at the vending machine in Osaka/Kyoto. It can be used around Fuji area, too. (Usage on the bus is not sure...though)

@osamaalrobayan9443 Месяц назад

Hello is the apple wallet SUICA accepted in many places like Don Quijote etc. or should I get the physical one better?

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

@osamaalrobayan9443. If they accept SUICA, there are no difference between physical or digital one. SUICA is the main cashless payment method for my daily life. When they do not accept SUICA, at least they accept credit cards. I do not carry much cash recently. But please be careful, the entrance fee for temples are cash only. Many ramen shops accept only cash.

@LuisToubes Месяц назад

Thank you for the information, it's very helpful. One question, as a tourist in Japan, can I use the Pasmo value ticket obtained from the vending machine the next day as a regular Pasmo? In other words, can I recharge it and use it at metro stations, buses, or JR, or is it better to get the Pasmo Passport?

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

Yes. Your understanding is correct. The value ticket will expire the next day, but it works as standard PASMO.(the printing on the card is still showing the value ticket date.)

@LuisToubes Месяц назад

@@ExploreJapanWithLila very helpful this tip 🙏. Thank you.

@LuisToubes Месяц назад

Stopping by to confirm that this method of obtaining the Pasmo card works! Thank you very much. I've recorded a video of the entire process in case you're interested. After knowing this, I've identified many metro stations that sell the day ticket with Pasmo card, such as Ryogoku station.

@SusanWeissberg-xq6mr Digital SUICA charges amount will not be refunded. If you are planning to come to Japan again, just use it next time and there will be no problem. If you don't have any plans for your next trip, I recommend you will not charge too much.

So to make sure : as landing at Narita airport I Can buy welcome pasmo card / pasmo passport at keiyku counter ? And if I will not buy at the airport , I Can’t buy it at Shinjuku Station or Shibuya ?

@ExploreJapanWithLila 16 дней назад

What you can buy at Narita is PASMO PASSPORT only. At SHINAGAWA station, you are able to obtain Standard SUICA at JR East travel service center. Otherwise, you are able to get PASMO with value ticket at most of vending machine at subway station. Please refer to the pdf.drive.google.com/file/d/1ijzybONPG20paA0LW_uG-pHt1-ZlkY7I/view

Hello, I read on the JR East website that the sales of the welcome Suica cards are temporarily suspended at the Narita Airport and other train stations including Tokyo station..? Is this true?

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

@misscswvts7992 Hello 😊Unfortunately this is true. WELCOME SUICA is only sold at Haneda airport. What you can purchase at Narita are two option. One is SUICA (at the JR East Travel center) or PASMO Passport(at Keisei Travel Center) If you arrive very late or early, they may not open. In this case, go to central Tokyo and purchase PASMO PASSPORT at Subway station would be easier.

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

At Tokyo、Shinagawa and Shinyokohama station, they sell TOICA only with commuter pass. If you stay only in Tokyo, it is not feasible to get one at the stations. Another way is to purchase as used, sold in Yahoo Auction (page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j1135780452) or Merucari(jp.mercari.com/item/m24076655812?source_location=share&). In both way, it takes time and most of the case the individual seller would have difficulties to communicate in English, I suppose.

Regarding Android compatibility I heard unless you have an Android aquired in Japan most likely you can not add SUICA to it but do you know if this caveat is only if the phone is not already equipped in advance with a japanese prepaid sim card for example? or there is something else..thanks for any feedback

@ExploreJapanWithLila 27 дней назад

There are Android apps, which activate a special IC on the phone called “Ferica”. Basically you need to check whether your phone is listed in the pdf here, which means the phone has the Ferica. msfaq.mobilesuica.com/usr/file/attachment/MhCKrc64DBpOCc6c.pdf?attachment_log=1&object_id=76&object_type=faq This is further info on Ferica. www.felicanetworks.co.jp/en/mfelica_pf.html

The expiration date is 10 year from the final use. So it depends on when was your final use date. If it is Dec 2023, the card still can be used. In case it is expired, still you are able to retrieve your deposited of ¥500.

Hi, thanks for the video, and a "difficult question": is still possible to convert and already owned, blank, physical, SUICA card into a registered "My SUICA" one using the SUICA vending machines in the stations? I'd like to convert my blank one into a registered one with my name...

@ExploreJapanWithLila Месяц назад

You are able to register your name on a card by a vending machine, however, you need to ask a station attendant for it. The JR East site tells "You can change your unregisteredSuica to a registered Suica (My Suica ) by asking a station attendant at a JR East station with a "multi-function ticket vending machine" within the Suica area or by visiting the nearest Midori-no-Madoguchi."
