JR East, the PASMO Association, and the Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit have announced the resumption of sales for named ‘Suica’ and ‘PASMO’ cards from September 1.
Due to a global semiconductor shortage, the sale of anonymous cards was suspended from June 8, and named cards from August 2, 2023. With the recovery in semiconductor supply ensuring a steady future provision, sales are set to resume. The available types are ‘My Suica (named)’, ‘PASMO Card (named)’, and ‘Rinkai My Suica (named)’. The sale of anonymous ‘Suica’, ‘Rinkai Suica’, ‘PASMO’ cards, and both named and anonymous ‘Monorail Suica’ cards will continue to be suspended.
In the newly expanded Suica service areas of Aomori, Morioka, Akita, and Yamagata, both anonymous and named Suica cards have been available. However, from the same date, only named versions will be available for sale. Additionally, the sale of ‘Welcome Suica’ at the station concierges of Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Ueno stations, and at JAPAN RAIL CAFE TOKYO, will also resume from the same date.
