Trains and subways are the main forms of transportation in the cities in #Japan 🇯🇵. And I would recommend taking the train while you're in #Tokyo for #Nostrasia as it is a quintessential part of life here.
You can either buy a physical transport card or install the app on your smartphone, charge it, and you're ready! It can also be used on buses, trains from the airport to the city and vice-versa, convenient stores, vending machines, etc.
There are two companies, #Suica and #Pasmo, but Suica is preferable because it has wider acceptance in other cities.
It's contactless, and the app doesn't need to be open either! On the iPhone, just go to your Wallet --> + --> Travel Card --> [Japan] Suica. Get it all charged up before you come!!
