How to use Suica on the iPhone through Apple Pay wallet app. This can also be applied to Android phones that are capable of wireless payment. Suica is widely accepted in Japan at train stations, convenience stores, some fast food restaurants, and vending machines. Now you can use your mobile phone instead of having to buy a physical IC card.

That's a good idea. We need them in the UK
hello for me the suica option doesn't show up. any ideas on how to fix it?
I realize you cal also get it online and I’m in the u.s. since the pandemic and I haven’t got my 2nd dose of pyzer vaccine I can’t take vacation trips yet
So, if you have an iPhone, you don't have to buy a physical Suica or Pasmo card?
Can you create a new Suica and Pasmo card separately via Apple Pay, without the need of buying physical Suica and Pasmo cards?
hello i just want to ask if you had a problem reloading it? i had a balance of ¥8 at my suica card
i tap ¥10,000 and it reloaded so my balance is ¥10,008
but when i tap for another ¥9,992 because i want to be my balance to be at limit exactly at ¥20,000 because i know that the maximum balance is ¥20,000, but it didn’t reload and stays at ¥10,008. what supposed to be the problem?:(
nice video btw.. new subbie here(: thank you
I dont have suica app but i transferred my suica card on my iphone12 wallet. But i dont know how to use it.
I wonder why they don't directly charge from google pay or apple pay? I think it would be much easier rather than keep on adding money to Suica.
When you entered the gate, you said it deducted the fee. How does that work if it doesn't know where you are going to exit? Does it deduct the minimum amount and then take out the rest when you exit?
Is it available on Google pixel? Thanks in advance 😃
I made the commuter pass (PASMO) and added on my apple wallet. If I recharge at the station with the physical card is it gonna work? Another doubt, do i need the app to be able to use the phone at the station?
Hi! Planing on going to japan with my wife and 2 kids. Can we just use 1 card or we have to have 1 each to ride? TIA
Can i load a suica card i purchased in japan several years ago to my apple wallet?
this is the coolest video ever! i went to japan back in 2019 and i still have my suica card!
even though i'm back in the u.s., i just transferred my balance from my card to my iphone and saw how much i had left 😂.
this just brings me nostolgia and who knows i'll probably go back in the near future.
awesome video it was informative and a trip down memory lane for me!
Thanks for this video. Please make more videos like these for Japan
Hi! I just want to ask how can you load your Suica(teikiken) without a credit card?
Anyone else having issues with adding funds to Suica card in Apple Pay when charging funds to a u.s. credit card? Mine’s worked for years, but stopped on 20 Aug 2022
How to change the language?thank you
So you need a physical card to get it started.
Thank you for the info. If I wanted to reload my suica card using cash, is there a function for that at the train station to reload directly on my iphone or do I need to reload my physical card paying cash and somehow sync it up to my mobile card?
Sweet! Heading to Japan later this year, but I was curious about adding funds with Apple Pay. When you recharged with a credit card, did you get charged a cash equivalent fee? I tried asking my card issuer but they weren't sure and tentatively said yes. Thanks!
Hey does Suica card expire?
When I leave Japan, is there any way to refund the leftover money from the suica card on Apple Wallet?
If I get a physical Suica card then add it to Apple Wallet will the card become disabled? Can you also get a balance refund when you return the card if you added it to Apple Wallet?
hey, great video!
I have a question.
Can I get my money back after loading to Suica card in apple wallet?
Let me explain: I would like to know if after my trip to Japan there still some money that I have added to the SUICA card while I was there in Japan. So, I probably won't use that money anymore (outside Japan)… In that case, could I get the money left back?
Hi. Is it true you can't use US Visa card to add funds into your Suica phone app ?
Is it also possible to get 24/48h passes for Tokyo with the Suica Card in the apple wallet?
Is your capital one visa based in Japan? I’ve read and experienced that foreign Visa cards do not work to reload the Suica wallet on iOS.
Can you also add money to your suica card and not go physically to a store or ATM machine because I want to have the card as well &The app instead of going to the store I can just add money from the iPhone is that possible?
Does anyone know if there is a way to hook a Physical Suico card with a Mobile App card in a way where I can reload my Physical card on my iPhone?
I have a old Welcome Suica card from when I went to Japan in February 2020, and it’d be cool when I come back in October if I can reuse that card – even if on the back of that card it says it expires 28 days after from date of first use.
