Hey I’m leaving for Japan in 1 hour (Very Excited) and I have ordered some cash but my friends recommending me a suica card as I’m planning on taking more money does it work in the book off chain of stores.
I mean sure but you can just use a credit card instead?
It does but I would just use cash or card unless you really wanted to have a lot of money loaded onto your Suica.
Yes, BOOK-OFF and pretty much all major chain retailers accept IC card payment.
If your only option is cash or putting the cash on a Suica card, it’s basically the same thing, just with one extra step, and limiting yourself to ¥20,000 at a time on Suica
Best option is to use a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees
