I’m going to share one of the most-important tips when traveling around Tokyo<\/strong>; Purchasing a Japan Train Ticket<\/strong> – SUICA and PASMO Travel Card <\/strong>was really useful. The first thing we did when arriving in Tokyo<\/strong> is to buy a travel card named SUICA<\/strong> and Pasmo<\/strong>. The question is, which is the best choice between SUICA<\/strong> or Pasmo<\/strong>? Well, both of them are not many differences. They are both prepaid cards valid on JR and metro subway lines in\/around Tokyo<\/strong>. So if you’re planning on traveling around Tokyo<\/strong>, don’t be afraid because I’m going to show you exactly the step-by-step guide from our video below (Pssst, you can also check my YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a> to see more Japan Trip<\/strong> videos) and be prepared for your vacation! Yihaaaaa<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>! \ud83d\ude00\u00a0 Oh, btw, why we didn’t buy the JR Pass<\/strong>? I’ll tell you the reason later, after this! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

SUICA and PASMO Travel Card<\/strong> made our trip a lot simpler when taking the train to many places in Tokyo<\/strong>. Once you have this IC card (Integrated Circuit Card), you can add value to it. This method prevents you from having to go through the hassle of buying a train ticket over and over again. How to use the Card? Simply touch your card to a sensor panel on the ticket gate and go through. The minimal cost of PASMO Card<\/strong> when you create a new card is \u00a51000 (\u00a5500 deposit for the card + \u00a5500 value that you can use right away). While for SUICA CARD<\/strong>, least cost is \u00a52000 (\u00a5500yen deposit for the card + \u00a51500 value that you can use right away). You can add value to these cards at any Ticket Machines. To make a NEW CARD, for SUICA <\/strong>you have to use JR machines<\/strong>, while, for PASMO<\/strong>, you have to use the Ticket Machines at Metro Subway and TOEI stations.<\/strong> I like SUICA<\/strong> more than PASMO<\/strong> because it can print my name on this card. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Besides that, PASMO and SUICA Cards<\/strong> can be used to make purchases at shops, riding bus<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> and from select vending machines. We can also enjoy special discounts when using SUICA<\/strong> or PASMO Card<\/strong> than buying a regular ticket everyday (See below picture to see the comparison, discounted ticket price using SUICA or PASMO Card vs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Regular Train Tickets<\/strong>). Do not forget to return your Travel Card<\/strong> before you leave Japan<\/strong> and return to your home country to the Locket Counter<\/strong> at any train stations because they will refund the deposit \u00a5500 deposit from the card<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
