it seems it is possible to simply put the card in my Wallet and make sure I have it loaded with sufficient funds and then I can just tap my phone on the reader when I want to use it.  So I really don't need to go through the entire enrollment process.  Does that seem correct?

Yes, that is exactly what I have been doing the past several trips to Japan.  Optionally, you can load it to your Apple Watch but I've never done that. My understanding is that it has to be on the iPhone or the Watch, not both.

More learning - didn't know it could be on a watch.  My wife and I have it on our phones and that worked well for us on our last trip.

Hadn't planned to post any more pics but my wife sent me a few more she downloaded from her camera last night.  A picture of the kei truck Death by Curry for Jeff and some more KiHas for Alastair.  Those pics were taken during our visit to Onumakoen.

 

Had been mulling another trip in April as I had such a good time and airfares for my initial plan - a brief visit to Paris in April - were insanely high.  Then, as soon as I went to book - things reversed - fares to Japan tripled and I found a potentially good fare to Paris.  The volatility of airfares never ceases to amaze me.  So maybe no more Japan pics for a little while.

Ciao,

Tony

@Tony Galiani on your recent trip to Hokkaido, did you stop off in Sapporo?  More specifically, I’m on my way there now and will be staying four nights; I would like to include shopping e.g. Edobashi, Tamtam etc.  Tamtam is a bit out of the way but maybe worth the trek?

@Mutro We did not make it that far. Sapporo was in my original plan but ended up deciding on the (much) smaller snow festival in Onumakoen.

Ciao,

Tony

@bc6 Thanks. We really had a great time. So much so we are already planning future trips.  Maybe even this year.

Cheers,

Tony
