What Is The Welcome Suica Card?Understanding Japan's transportation networks and determining the most cost-effective travel choices can be challenging for foreign travelers. The Welcome Suica Card minimizes the need for paper tickets and cash by offering a simple and convenient electronic payment option. It allows you to tap and go on trains, buses, or pay for coin lockers, vending machines, convenience stores, and restaurants that carry the Welcome Suica logo—it's all done with a simple touch. Welcome Suica card includes 1-day unlimited rides on the Tokyo Monorail Line between Haneda Airport and Hamamatsucho Station and 1-day unlimited rides on JR trains within the 23 districts of Tokyo. From Haneda Airport, if you are planning to take the Tokyo Monorail to the city center, you can use the Welcome Suica card right away without charging it. You can also transfer to the JR Yamanote line and continue traveling for free on the card's first day of use. However, before using the Tokyo Metro or any other non-JR lines, you must first charge the card. 1-Day Tokyo Monorail Pass and 1-Day JR Lines Pass need to be used on the same day you start using the card.
