That's good. The regular Suica & Pasmo cards will still work, but you just can't get the deal on the Tokyo Subway Ticket with them, so try getting the Pasmo Passport next time you visit. You can just it like your regular Suica & Pasmo cards AND get the Tokyo Subway Ticket with it!
Hello, thank you for your comments. Yes, unfortunately that's true. But you can still get the Tokyo Subway Ticket, the magnetic card version, and have all daypass for $4USD, so don't miss out on that.
It was available in early July. When you visit, try to get it at the airport's train stations. If JR doesn't have it, go to Keisei. But they should be available. Have a great trip!
Hi there, thank you for your comments. Yes, that's true as of this past month, so we still have a few months left. However, they could be replacing it with something else/better, so let's see.
Hi there, thank you for your question. AT Narita Airport T3, you need to down to the B1 level (where the trains are). Follow the signs for the JR line/Keisei Line/Train. See the link here www.pasmo.co.jp/visitors/assets/pdf/common/floormap-narita2-3.pdf Go to the SKYLINER & KEISEI INFORMATION CENTER between 7am-9am (the yellow star in the link) or the Skyliner ticket sales counter (the yellow circle) at other times. Hope this helps!
Yes, it's been discontinued unfortunately, but let's wait and see if they will introduct something else. Both regular Pasmo/Suica cards work the same, eg. you can use them all over Japan, top them up the same way, etc. But it's better to get the regular Pasmo card because you can get the full refund on the deposit of 500yen, whereas with the Suica Card, there will be a 220yen return fee that will be charged. Hope this helps, and have a great trip!
Hi there! Thank you for your question. Yes, you can get the Pasmo Passport at Narita Airport Terminal 2. See link for the location map. Go down to B1F (basement floor) to the Skyliner & KEISEI Information Center (7am - 9pm), or to the Service Desk when outside of 7am-9pm. Have a great trip! www.pasmo.co.jp/visitors/assets/pdf/common/floormap-narita2-3.pdf
Thank you for your question. It seems they are not available at Haneda Airport anymore, you can only get them at Narita Airport. This is because they are discontinuing it in August 2024. However, you can get the Welcome Suica at Haneda Airport still (go to the left side for the Tokyo Monorail side for the Welcome Suica). www.jreast.co.jp/multi/en/welcomesuica/welcomesuica.html Welcome Suica works like a regular Pasmo card where you can top it up and use it, however you can't buy the Tokyo Subway Ticket with it. If you do want to buy the Tokyo Subway Ticket, you can buy the magnetic version (flexible business card that comes in red, blue and mustard color) by visiting the Tokyo Metro Pass offices or BicCamera shops. You can also get them at Haneda Airport. www.tokyometro.jp/tst/en/ticket-overseas-local.html (scroll down and click below the List of sale locations to see the locations by Airports, Stations etc). I recommend getting the Welcome Suica for your regular fare travels and for paying at 7-11 etc, AND getting the magnetic version of the Tokyo Subway Ticket for the unlimited travels on days when you need it. You can buy them ahead of time, eg. you can buy three 72-hour passes at Haneda Airport, then use it later on your trip. If you don't end up using it, you can go back to get a refund for them. Please confirm when you buy them just to be sure. Hope this helps!

discontinuing ic cards in JAPAN due to semiconductor shortage is really contraditory... that's the end of the world
It was available in early July. When you visit, try to get it at the airport's train stations. If JR doesn't have it, go to Keisei. But they should be available. Have a great trip!

The Pasmo Passport is discontinued. Is the regular Pasmo card better than regular Suica card?
