For the three weeks I was there in March I bought a suica card at the airport and never had to think about fairs for subway or buses for the rest of the the trip. I also used it to pay fir food at convienance stores and roadside stops. That seems pretty darn convenient to me.

i routinely needed to go to an atm to withdraw cash to load up my suica while i was there. I dont understand how the Japanese people find that acceptable.
