  1. I just got back from Japan this past Monday, and I've got to say the train system is amazingly helpful. I'm hoping to go back next year and look forward to reviewing more of your videos before I do

  2. Your effort really shows in this video! 🚀 To get more views and subscribers, you need to optimize your videos with the right SEO strategies. Let’s work together and boost your channel!

  3. If we have the digital Suica and Pasmo format, do we still have to buy the physical to ride in some transportation like bus in Kyoto?

  4. Hi!
    Is there a similar Icoca physical card like Welcome Suica?
    I plan to arrive to Japan via the Kansai airport.

  5. Hello,
    I'm going to be in Tokyo for three months starting in April.
    Which pass should I get to travel by subway and bus?
    I was thinking of getting a PASMO, but I don't understand anything anymore…
    Thanks!
