The app allows users to issue and top up their Suica in the app without going to a ticket office or vending machine at the station both before and after entering Japan; is accepted on trains, buses and other public transportation; and can even be used for shopping.
In fall 2025, the app will be connected to JR-EAST Train Reservation to enable the use of Shinkansen e-ticket and conventional line limited express ticketless service, with purchase of Green Car seats on local trains to be made available in spring 2026. Expanding services provide even more ways for our international visitors to enjoy seamless, ticketless transportation while in Japan.
