Thank you for this video. Will PASMO have the same 'welcome' type digital IC card? If so, would they be identical in use? I was concerned about Suica because it was geared to Japanese speakers but it seems like the Welcome Suica may be the better option now..
Nice video 👍but why did only mastercards are accepted dor suica card? Why not the VISA?
Hi, what is the option if child does not have handphone for the SUICA app? Thank you.
