Hi guys this is my itinerary for our first trip to Japan. Looking for advice and recommendations. I’ll be traveling with fiancé for first part of trip and we have family coming for second part.
Can one person use their suica card for multiple people? Or should I get one for my fiancé too?

Don’t use pocket wifi, use eSim if your phone supports it.
each person needs their own suica
Since you aren’t really traveling much your first few days, I’d recommend getting your JR Pass somewhere other than Narita. Even at Shinjuku the lines will be shorter.
Dude im also going with my fiance and im also going to osaka and kyoto and I also plan on going to piss alley the first night hahaha.
we are staying in a capsule hotel near the airport our last night
I don’t know if they changed anything, but I wasn’t able to use JR pass to ride from Osaka to Hiroshima. Someone can chime in on this, though.
you can use your suica for multiple people on buses but not on subway. the reason being you scan first going in and once again when you get to your destination so the system knows how far you traveled. so if you scan for yourself going in then the person behind you, it wont work properly.
