We use trains a lot; to commute, meet friends, etc...  The reason why I am writing this article is that when I was living in Tokyo before the pandemic happened, I encountered a lot of travellers having difficulty in front of the train ticket vending machine.

I was born and raised in Kobe city (30 min from Osaka by train), so mine is ICOCA, not Suica . One thing very positive for you is that once you charge some amount to Sui
