Suica is Tokyo's most widely used prepaid e-money card. It covers areas served by JR East railways, plus Sendai and Niigata, but it also can be used across a wide range of coverage areas all over Japan. Suica can also be used in areas served by the following IC cards: • Kitaca (JR Hokkaido) • PASMO (Tokyo area) • ICOCA (JR West) • manaca (Various railways and bus lines serving Nagoya, including Meitetsu) • TOICA (JR Tokai) • PiTaPa (Kansai Thru Pass) • SUGOCA (JR Kyushu) • nimoca (Various railways and bus lines serving Fukuoka) • Hayakaken (Various railways and bus lines serving Fukuoka)
Board buses without coins, ride trains without tickets, pay for goods, and use services like lockers and more with just one tap. Suica is not just for transportation — it's also a cashless payment option you can use at all manner of establishments: shops, convenience stores, kiosks, vending machines, and even lockers.
What's more, using a Suica is not just convenient; it also saves you money. Paying for your train fare by IC card saves you 1–9 JPY each time (usually around 1–2 JPY on average), which may not seem like much, but will still add up if you're a frequent traveler. One-way travel within Tokyo typically costs about 150-200 JPY, and on average, you can expect to spend about 1,000 JPY per day on public transport.
Once you've received your Suica, using it will be a breeze! Just tap and go, and if you're falling short, you can easily top up your card at ticketing machines all over Japan. If you've added too much cash, not to worry — you’ll be able to get your balance back before you leave Japan (see the Important Information for details).
