Using the Suica card

This is like a debit card. You buy it for 2000 Yen of which 500 yen will be reimbursed if you return the card. It allows you to speed right through the gates at the train station. Just swipe and go. It can also be used for other purchases. Look for the logo on display.

Somewhere in Tokyo, I don't recall which one.

Thats similar to the Washington DC's SmarTrip card, just much more advanced. lol

Yes, as the Suica care can be 'recharged' and used over and over again. Just scan and go thru. Better than the DC Metro card that I use when visiting.

I love Suica! what s so great about Suica is you can use it with ALL the railway companies(aprx 20 more companies?? not sure) in Tokyo!! Without Suica I wouldnt be able to reach to Narita Airport from my stay. The railway there is a must to enjoy Tokyo but it s just too complicated, BUT with Suica hehe you can go anywhere with no trouble with tickets! Suica is my friend :)

It's not necessary to put it out of a wallet.

Machines recognise Suica inside the wallet.
