Hello,


if I live at Noborito, do you recommend buying the Japan Subway Pass? Or should I get the Suica card?

Thanks!

In addition, you can use Suica when you take buses.
Suica will be accepted almost every transportation including trains, subways, buses, and monorails.
Also you can use it within Kanto area ( Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama etc).
If you have a chance to get the Smartphone from Docomo, au, or Softbank, there's Suica app so you don't have to hold a card and can be done with touch-and-go at all stations by your Smartphone.

NOTE: Sometimes it doesn't work with iPhone because it has its own system that won't accept that system called "Osaifu keitai". Suica's app needs this "Osaifu keitai"system, so please check if your phone accepts this system before you install this app if you're an iPhone user.

Also, there's another card called Pasmo.
They are the same pass, only difference is Suica is issued by JR and Pasmo is issued by Private railway company as Keio or Odakyu (in simple, except JR).

Hi,there

I recommend Suica of course!
The main train you'll take will be JR, and Suica is issued by JR.
You can charge at every stations, of course accepts credit cards.

Hope this can be your help!
