You can use your suica/pasmo on your phone, and recharge using Apple or Google pay. Works really well.

This is only if your phone has Sony Felica hardware and a license to use it. New iPhones do worldwide but android devices, including Pixels IIRC generally only have this available phones sold in Japan.

Also, there are just in the last year or two increasing restrictions on using foreign cards for charging transit cards in Japan, presumably to prevent churning.
