Tips for Travel

About Transportation IC card (SUICA)

Japan maily has two types of IC cards, SUICA and PASMO.

They are compatible with each other. So, if you buy SUICA, you don't need to buy PASMO, and vice versa.

You can get them at every station, and they are also sold at train stations of Narita Airport and Haneda Airport.

You can get refund when you leave Japan.

Access from Narita Airport

There are a few choices.

If you have been to Japan and you are familiar with Narita airport, buses are the chepest and the easiest way.

However, they are difficult to know how to get on them.

I believe Keisei Line would be the best.
