      Index

      IntroductionIn

      Japan, traveling by train is very convenient. By using apps and "Suica," you can make your travel even simpler and more comfortable. In this article, we will introduce train apps and the "Suica" card that are easy for foreigners to use, as well as the steps to register and tips for using them.

      Train Timetable Apps

      Japanese trains are usually on time, but sometimes there are delays. In such cases, apps that check train schedules are very useful. With apps like "Norikae Annai" (Transit Guide) or "Google Maps," you can easily check train times and transfers.

      Introduction to Suica

      Suica is an electronic money card that can be used for trains and buses. With Suica, you can smoothly pass through ticket gates without buying a ticket, and you can also use it to pay at convenience stores or vending machines.

      How to Buy Suica

      You can purchase a Suica card at the following places:

      • JR station ticket vending machines or Suica-specific machines
      • "Midori no Madoguchi" ticket counters at stations

      You can simply select "Suica" on the ticket machine and enter the amount of money to charge the card. The minimum amount is 2,000 yen (500 yen card fee + 1,500 yen charge).

      How to Use Suica on Your Smartphone

      By downloading the "Mobile Suica" app to your smartphone, you can use your phone as a Suica card. You can easily charge it via the app.

      Steps to Register for Suica

      If you want to use Suica on your smartphone, you need to register with the Mobile Suica app. Here are the steps to register:

      How to Register

      1. Download the App- First, download the "Mobile Suica" app from your app store. You can also use Suica through "Apple Pay" on iPhone or "Google Pay" on Android.
      2. Create an Account- Open the app and choose "New Registration." Enter your email address, name, phone number, and other details to create a Suica account.
      3. Issue Suica- After registration, you can issue a Suica card. Select Suica, and enter the amount to charge. You can use credit cards or convenience store payment for the charge.
      4. Set up Charging Method- By registering your credit card, you can charge Suica anytime through the app. You can also charge with cash at convenience stores or station machines.
      5. Start Using- Once registration is complete, you can immediately start using Suica to ride trains or buses by tapping your phone at the ticket gates or bus reader.

      Tips for Using Suica

      • Just tap your phone to pass through gates: You don’t need to buy tickets. Just tap your phone or card at the gate to pass through easily.
      • Charge anytime, anywhere: You can charge your Suica anytime using the Mobile Suica app. If your balance runs low, just top it up right away.
      • Use it for shopping: Suica isn’t just for transportation. You can also use it for payments at convenience stores or vending machines, making your shopping quick and easy.
      • Manage your commuter pass: You can also register your commuter pass on Suica, and check its expiration date through the app.

      Apps to Check Train Crowds

      During rush hour, trains can get very crowded. If you want to avoid crowded times, apps like "Yahoo! Transit" let you check real-time crowd levels on trains.

      Conclusion

      To make your train travel in Japan more convenient, use Suica and helpful apps. With Suica, you don’t need to buy tickets, and you can easily recharge and make payments with your smartphone. Registration is simple, so be sure to start using Suica and enjoy smoother travel in Japan!
