Update: The Narita Airport Welcome Suica card machine have been discontinued, from 18th December 2023 onwards Welcome Suica sales will be limited to JR EAST Travel Service Center and Haneda airport only. You can try to get the normal suica card from JR East Travel service center at narita airport. We will try to make a update video on how to get a IC card at Narita Airport soon.
@thebiannualtravellers thx a lot, I land in Narita on 22 may and since the cards sold online are also to be picked up at Haneda, I'll try my luck at the ticket counter..
Hello, on their website it says: Welcome Suica sales will be limited to the following for the time being from December 18th. ・ JR EAST Travel Service Center Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station ・ Welcome Suica exclusive vending machine Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line Haneda Airport Terminal 3 Station Please note that only one Welcome Suica will be sold per person. Please note that IC cards will not be sold at Narita Airport after the 18th. Is this also about the welcome Suica cards from the video?
the machine in the video should not be affected as they mentioned. haneda airport terminal 3 is still available according to the message, just limited to 1 card per person
Hi, we are not based in japan, but last heard this machine, which dispense the welcome suica card is still available, with the normal suica card available at the JR office.
It depends which train. From what I have read, the skyliner or narita express are not covered, but I'm going to asakusa and the sky access is covered. It largely depends whether it is a "local" train or not. Airport transfer only isn't covered. (Since they stop less the express one's are faster)
@@thebiannualtravellers wanted to make sure since I will be going on April however the Suica webpage says that sales are temporarily suspended on Narita Airport
I have the chance to buy a Welcome Suica in my country before I fly to japan but it wont work until i deposit money on it. Is there a way to deposit money on it at narita airport?
Hi, it's the normal blank suica card and pasmo that is currently unavailable due to a semi conductor shortage. This tourist welcome suica card is still available but only valid for 28 days.
Hi, you can do so, but the card will only last 28 days before expiration. If you need the card for 4 months, it is best to get the normal Suica card from the JR ticket offices.

Hi, we are not based in japan, but last heard this machine, which dispense the welcome suica card is still available, with the normal suica card available at the JR office.
Can I pay for the Narita Express ticket with a Welcome Suica Card?
Was this always available? When we went last year we stood in line forever to get a Suica
Hi, yeah, it was available in july 2023.
Thanks for sharing - just want to ask if this card can be used across all cities in Japan, and it's valid for buses also?
Hi, yes, you can use it for all JR routes.
Thank you for the video. With the welcome suica card can I go to Tokyo ? is it included?
It depends which train. From what I have read, the skyliner or narita express are not covered, but I'm going to asakusa and the sky access is covered. It largely depends whether it is a "local" train or not. Airport transfer only isn't covered. (Since they stop less the express one's are faster)

Great, enjoy your trip.

@@ogrish15 yes, I got the card through a machine!
Hello, can you confirm if this is still available?
Last heard the machine is still there
@@thebiannualtravellers wanted to make sure since I will be going on April however the Suica webpage says that sales are temporarily suspended on Narita Airport
i think they meant by the full suica card, this machine dispense the tourist welcome suica card which is only valid for 28 days.
Nice! Going in 10 days.
Arriving in a few days - so is the tourist Suica? I thought I read that it is now only in available at Haneda?
Hi last known it's still available at both airports.
I have the chance to buy a Welcome Suica in my country before I fly to japan but it wont work until i deposit money on it. Is there a way to deposit money on it at narita airport?
Hi, you should be able to reload the card at the train stations machines.
I have heard no more Welcome Suica card neither. I have to get Pasmo card instead which is still available?
Hi, it's the normal blank suica card and pasmo that is currently unavailable due to a semi conductor shortage. This tourist welcome suica card is still available but only valid for 28 days.
@@thebiannualtravellers We will only be there 8 days so it is good enough. Thx for the reply.
is the machine still available this year/month?
Should still be available, as i still see people posting on it.
@@thebiannualtravellers i hope its available in Narita T1, if not I dont know its okay to exchange the voucher in shinjuku
Can i still buy the welcome suica if I will be in japan for 4 months?
Hi, you can do so, but the card will only last 28 days before expiration. If you need the card for 4 months, it is best to get the normal Suica card from the JR ticket offices.
@@thebiannualtravellers got it, thank you!
Can this card balance (that I can from narita) be refunded at osaka airport?
Hi, this card can not be refunded, but what you can do is to go to any convenient store and use the remaining balance there.
Can i use this card at sapporo hokkaido?
Hi, the Suica can be used for certain transportation systems in Hokkaido.
@@thebiannualtravellers Thanks
is there a way to get normal suica card in Narita airport?
Hi, they stopped sales of the normal suica card in japan. If you have an apple device, you can consider getting it through your apple wallet.
hi, is this narita terminal 2?
Hi, this is Narita Terminal 1.
Hi! Does anyone know if there is a welcome suitable machine in terminal 2 as well?
Hi, this we are not sure, but recent news state that you now get the normal suica card at the JR office at the JR station connected to the terminal.
UPDATE: JR East Japan Has Resumed Selling Regular SUICA Cards To Foreign Tourists (At Select Stations)

What!? That machine has multiple languages, but has no Japanese!?
That doesn't make any sense!? This is their country!
As this card is for tourist only, they have since discontinued this machine and moved the suica card purchase to the JR office.
