How To Get + Use JAPAN SUICA CARD on iPhone With/Without CARD NUMBER
Vložit

- I’d like to share with you HOW TO SET UP and USE Japan’s SUICA CARD on iPhone WITH and WITHOUT a CARD NUMBER. Using some sort of Transportation IC card is kinda standard in Japan, especially in cities like Tokyo, Osaka… since it helps us save time and money at the same time. If you have a smartphone, consider set up and use the Suica card on your phone. I’ll show you 2 ways, STEP BY STEP how to GET and USE the Suica card on your phone in this video. The first way is via APPLE PAY (APPLE WALLET). And the second way is via SUICA FINANCE App.
Recently, according to JR, due to the chip shortage, they’ve stopped selling some of the cards like Suica, Pasmo (unless you stay in Japan and buy the monthly commuter pass, you still can buy it).
If you travel to Japan and prefer a physical card, you can consider the Welcome Suica card or the Pasmo Passport card, which are the cards created for visitors to Japan. But please be noted that these cards are non-refundable and only valid for 28 days.

- Select "Card Details"
- Select "Open" in Suica Finance App (you need to download the Suica Finance app)
- In the Suica Finance app, you will see the Suica card that you added -- tap on the card and you will see the full card number.
Thank you on the card number 🌹
depends of if its applicable to your country. most SEAsian accounts dont have access to Apple Wallet
Fantastic!
If I get SUICA card via app on iPhone will it also expire after 28 days? I plan to return to Japan again
I heard foreign Visa credit cards don’t work online in Japan. Will a foreign Visa credit card work with SUICA app on iphone? I have Chase Visa credit card.

I just manage to try registering with the option with SUICA card number.
Part of the info needed is postal code but i am a tourist without local Japan postal code?
(I tried my home country postal code it didnt work though)
Any help is much appreciated !
@@yihsiangng7038 you can also get the card number after adding the Suica card in your Apple Wallet: try this out:

@@ONEGOODDREAM
Thank you so much for responding.
But i am not sure if thats what I am looking >.<
I meant when in the process of registration for Suica with name, one of the column it request for postal code among other particulars. Which I have no idea what postal code should I insert.
Hopes that clarifies and appreciate if you could share. Thanks !
Very helpful for my upcoming trip to Japan, thank you!

Thanks very much for explaining in details, very useful.
Thank you so much!🙏
very helpful - thank you!
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you for all the information!!!🥰
Thank you so much!🙏
a couple of things to note in this video for tourists: YOU CANT USE THE SUICA APP!! IT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED ONLY FOR JAPAN RESIDENTS, while creating your profile as said in this video, you cannot enter a postal code and a japan number, which is mandatory to go further, that is why the app is not in English, they don't want the tourists to use this app.
Is there an actual app? Or do you mean the wallet on iPhone
Nvmnd lol
Thank you ! This video is a life saver !
Thank you so much!🙏
I never been in Japan , but now is gone be so useful! ty

Thank you very much!! 🙏
You can link the digital suica on shinkansen
Thanks a lot for sharing!!

Wonderfull explanation!!!!

Very helpful thank you
Thank you so much!🙏
Very helpful video! Hey regarding the full digital number you need to download the app, it comes up easily as it recognises the Suica card on your phone. The full number is in the information .
Good Information!
Thank you so much!🙏
Thanks, useful video
Thank you so much!🙏
So if anyone else had the same problem as me in adding their details - like first and last name DOB - I just used Google translate to get the characters for my first and last name and your D.O.B in Japanese will be YYYY/MM/DD. For the zip code I just used random numbers id remember as that’s the only thing that worked. Hope this helps others.
Thank you so much for sharing!🙏
Thank you! I followed your advice and it worked!😊
ty so much
Thank you very useful 😊
Glad it was useful! Thank you so much!🙏
Hi!! Thank you for the video. Is there a purpose or any step that we might need the suica number? I am asking as you made the point
Thank you for the info.
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you! Very helpful. When you use the credit card, does it show up as a cash advance or just an ordinary charge?
THANK YOU!!! 😁
Thank you so much!🙏
Another useful ìnfo on the Suica card indeed 🌼 As always, thank you for your hard work on the informative video 🙏 Have a wonderful weekend 🌹 Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season 🌹
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you!
Thank you so much!🙏
EDIT: Title fixed, the previous one was iPhone AND ANDROID.
Like many said, it only applies if you have an iPhone. I believe the last generation or 2 of Pixels are also compatible. If your Android phone has been purchased out of Japan, there's no way. The Suica app cannot be downloaded if you don't have a Japanese account. So basically the title should be "how to get + use Japan SUICACard on iPhone and only on iPhone....
Good thing the SUICAs are available again.
Is it available again?
@@JuanNgtse I saw a post on Reddit 2 weeks ago saying they are available at major Tokyo JR stations.
It clearly says in the title " on iPhone "
@gdubyadubya8961 It clearly said iphones AND ANDROID 4 weeks ago buddy, they apparently corrected the title in the meantime.
Not entirely correct. I could download the Suica App, but as you stated, could not complete the regsitration process.
Your video was great! Very informative! I just got back from Japan. I go every summer. I only use paper tickets for the trains when I’m there. I don’t like the idea that the money I put on the card or app expires and that I can’t get a refund. If I could save the money on my app until I go back in a year I would totally use it. I wish they would make the app more tourist friendly. 🇯🇵
Thank you. It was helpful. I just realised the value of iPhone in overseas travel. Android phones sold outside Japan are not compatible with Suica or PASMO. I had some problem completing my field for my first name, which has 2 words, but the field only accept 1 word.
Very helpful channel. Soo soo helpful. Hope we see more from you.
Can you pls suggest bus websites for us to book to bus trips from airports to places like Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, etc pls. Have a good one.
Thank you so much!🙏 you can check out the website of the Shinjuku expressway bus terminal:
shinjuku-busterminal.co.jp/en/
Great video and thanks for the information. Seems a lot easier just adding the Suica to your Apple Wallet before you even travel to Japan, which is what i plan on doing. Your video helped clarify what the major differences are. Thanks again.
So glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!🙏
I’ve just added a Suica card to Apple wallet, very easy process and I haven’t left home in Australia yet.
@@barbaragough8475kinly let me know how this worked out for you? Did it recharge with no issues? Did you manage to link it to your train tickets?
@@ONEGOODDREAMThe digital card that you add to your Apple wallet will expire in 28 days also or not?
@@heythave no the digital IC card will NOT expire in 28 days. it's valid for as long as you have it on your phone.
Very useful
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!🙏
Tracing your progress for some time, and I want to express my appreciation for the effort you invest in delivering quality content. Greetings and best wishes!
Much appreciated! Thank you so much!🙏
Hey there.
Now you don’t need to do all those steps for get SUICA number anymore.
You just need to have the SUICA APP already installed on your iPhone, so you may press “CARD DATA” when opening the digital SUICA CARD on apple wallet. So, it will redirect you to the app with the card issued to you with complete number.
Excellent vid! I have an existing physical Suica (not the Welcome Suica) that I have used on 3-4 previous trips over the past several years that I recharge every time I enter Japan. After watching your vid, however, I will try to setup a Suica on my iPhone Apple Wallet for an upcoming March trip to Japan. I think I will use a bank debit/ATM card instead of a credit card to avoid possible interest while I'm overseas. Thanks
Thank you so much!🙏 you can also top up the digital card at vending machines or convenience stores just like a physical card. it's really convenient.
@@ONEGOODDREAM
How to top up digital card like physical card? Just shove my phone in the space u put ur physical card in at the machine? Also, can I zero out my digital card after my trip? Thank you so much for the video btw! It was really helpful!❤
Thank you for sharing this good info , looking forward travel Japan 😊
Thank you so much!🙏
Thankyou
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you for the video. I downloaded the Suica app, but couldn’t add any money to it neither Visa or Debt card. What type of bank card does it take?
Very useful information regarding having a card number and being able to link Shinkansen tickets! Thanks!
Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you! This video is super informative and thorough! For Welcome Suica and Pasmo Passport, are we able to add this to Apple Wallet?
Thank you so much!🙏 The Welcome Suica and Pasmo Passport are only valid for 28 days and are not available in Apple Wallet. if you add an IC card to Apple Wallet, you don't need one of those cards anymore. you only need one IC card (any kind) per person.
Can you have in both the wallet and physical and use it? Asking to see if it’s like a credit card
I want able to go to the restaurants that I wanted to go to because my iPhone navigation wasn’t on. I learned my lesson on the first trip. I will do better next time.
Great video. But I do not see the Suica option in Google Pay app.
You have the really cute voice 🥰
Thank you so much!🙏
If I use the credit card to pay the expense using SUICA card, can you share how the exchange rate for the expense? thanks
Really good video😊
May I know which camera and lenses you use for this video?
Thank you so much!🙏 for most of parts, I use a Sony 11mm f1.8 lens on a Sony zv e1. loving this set up for its compact and light weight ^^
Amazing content. Learned something new today. Can I still use my regular SUICA card I got last April when I returned to Japan this February?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 yes, totally! I think the regular Suica card is good for 10yrs since your last use of it.
You can also make IC card as your express travel card on Apple Wallet settings.
Does it work on an android phone bought in the US? Thanks
I love your videos very detailed and easy to follow. I’ll be traveling with my husband and an 11 month baby do I need to have separate ic card for both of them? also Can I add them to my apple wallet?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 your baby does not need to pay for tickets. you and your husband need to have one IC card per person, separately. the ic card needs to have one departure and one arrival station to calculate the ticket price for one person.
I have the Pasmo card made directly by the wallet app and on the pasmo app it shows my card number 😉
Thank you for your detailed instructions with screen shots along the way! Very helpful!❤
Can you tell us which credit cards are allowed for this digital suica? I've tried visa and Mastercard, but they didn't work. Only Japanese credit cards?
I just added a Suica card and I used an Australian visa debit card. I am still in Australia, so hopefully I can top it up when I am in Japan.
For me I have to add Apple Pay to my credit card first. I did that for my husband and myself for 2 separate bank app. It works after that.
Thank you for sharing this!Can you tell us which credit cards are allowed for this digital suica? visa or Mastercard？
Thank you so much!🙏 Technically you can use either of those cards. I used both Visa and Master and they worked well (but mine were issued in Japan). it depends on how the security is set up in each country so you have to try to see which works for you.
Could you make a guide for Android?
Informative video! Thanks! I did my own research and found out that certain model of iPhone"s (newer models) would only work for suica app. Is this true?
Thank you so much!🙏 I'm not sure about that. but according to Apple, Suica on Apple Wallet is supported from iPhone 8. mine is iPhone 12 and I'm using it with no problem so far.
The digital suica Not working with my UK card
Does bape accept suica?
is there a way if I have no japan credit card?
Hi I'm From India❤❤
Why do I get "There is an error in the input of Say?" Similar to your video? Can't go any further than this stage
Question: I was so invested in the video that I did all the process to add my Suica, but then remembered my trip is in 20 days lol, so my suica will expire a week after my arrival. In that case, do I just do the whole process again to get a new one?
Thank you for your videos! They are THE BEST!
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 your digital Suica card does not expire in 28 days like the physical Welcome Suica card. the digital Suica card is at least the same with the normal physical Suica card, which is valid for 10 years since your last use of the card. if you have it all ready in your Apple wallet, you can use it the minute you land in Japan :)
hi! Thank you so much for this video. For the digital app, we can add the suica card anytime before our trip with yen? Is there an expiration date for the digital app on how much yen we add? I know for the returnable card its 28 days. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 yes you can recharge the digital card at a machine before your trip or at a convenience store. as long as you have the card on your digital wallet, it's valid.
FYI : for American with VISA and trying to add a suica via apple wallet, it will not work. its something to do with us visa not allowing payment to work with suica and they havent fixed it for over a year.
just went through this two weeks ago. luckily was able to get a physical suica card from a friend as the suica card isnt given at the moment.
Hi. Thanks for the video. When you load a Suica card on Apple wallet with money, can you use it immediately?
Thank you so much for watching!🙏 yes you can use it immediately.
Hi! How do you add your physical card already bought to the suica app? Thank you!
Hi, you can select "Card Import" at 5:30.
Hi! Thank you for the information.
If I load into digital suica card via canadian credit card, is it going to charge me any fees?
Thank you so much!🙏 I'm not sure about that. you can try top up a minimum amount for the first time to see. if it's not a good deal, you can remove the credit card, keep the Suica card on your phone, and later top it up at machines in Japan using cash. here's how:
czcams.com/users/shorts3tUr4mTTagY?feature=share
I’m leaving this coming Sunday to Japan and I’m wondering if I still have money leftover in my (digital suica wallet )at the end of my trip how I can take it out or transfer it to another wallet? Or what to do with it?
Thank you for the great tips ❤
hi, as far as I know, the remained balance on your digital suica wallet won't be able to be transferred to another wallet. it can only be refunded/transferred to a bank account of yours, which has to be in Japan. therefore, it's best to use all the money on your digital suica wallet before you leave Japan. I discussed about that here: czcams.com/video/WuqIHwuenkc/video.html
hope this helps..
