Tips regarding Tourist Cards, Luggage Transfers & Universal Studios

Hello all, I’ll be travelling to Japan for the first time in October with my girlfriend. I have most of the travel and itinerary organised but still have a few bits that need ironing out.

Tourist Cards:
– We will be arriving and departing from Tokyo Haneda (HND)
– I have an iPhone so will be getting one of the cards on my Apple Wallet
– My girlfriend only has an Android phone and from what I read they are not supported on non-Japanese Android devices, what are my options in regard to getting here a IC/Suica/PASMO card

Luggage:

This is what I’ve currently got in mind regarding luggage and I’d like to know if it’s well thought out or a stupid rookie idea 😅
– We’ll be staying at the same hotel in Tokyo when we’re there for the first few days and after we get back from Osaka before we leave. Planning to keep some of our luggage at the hotel or at a luggage storage facility nearby
– When arriving in Kyoto and Osaka, will try to store our luggage at an Ebco Cloak location so we can go explore instead of waiting around before being able to check in our bags at the hotel
– Planning to send our luggage from Osaka to Tokyo (we’ll be doing a day trip from Osaka before going back to Tokyo and prefer to have a small backpack instead of lugging two cabin bags around with us that day)
– What would be the best way to go about booking these and recommended websites/apps?

Universal Studios:
– By far the trickiest part to get my head round 😅
– Only thing I know is that I’ll have to book these 1-2 months in advance as they sell out quite quickly
– I am more than happy to spend extra on getting an Express Ticket, but I have no clue on how the USJ website ticketing system works
– We’ll be wanting to go to Super Nintendo World and have had a look at the Timed entry section of the USJ site
– Which tickets should I buy (Entry plus Express plus SNW Timed Entry?) please explain this to me like I’m 5 😅

Any and all help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Grammar & Spelling
