I’ve heard about the IC card shortage, and our family is on Android, so I’m wondering if buying a JR pass would be simplest. We’re arriving in Tokyo, and will go to Kyoto with day trips to Osaka, and then back to Tokyo. We’ve never been to Japan before, and don’t want to spend lots of time figuring out tickets with kids on tow. Would it be simplest to get a JR pass and if we did, could we avoid hunting around for a Suica card, or would we still probably need a Suica card too? Thanks so much for any advice!
