JR East will release ‘Welcome Suica Mobile’ in the spring of 2025.
This will be the mobile version of the ‘Welcome Suica’ currently issued for tourists visiting Japan. It allows for issuance and credit card recharge through the app before entering the country, extending the validity period from the current 28 days to 180 days. Additionally, it will enable the use of the ‘Touch and Go! Shinkansen’.
From the spring of 2026, it will integrate with ‘JR-EAST Train Reservation’ to allow advance purchases of Shinkansen and conventional train reserved seat tickets within the app.
The service will be available on iPhone and Apple Watch, and will only support English.
