YamanoteRider95 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So, JR East released this "Suica and Monorail" product in 2011. My question is, has this product been discontinued or replaced by other offers? Also, what is the design of the suica card? Has anyone a photo they can show me? Thanks in advance. Link to comment
katoftw Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) See JR East website. Not in tickets and offers, so must be long gone. Or for a non JR East option:- http://www.tokyo-monorail.co.jp/english/tickets/suica/ Edited March 4, 2015 by katoftw Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) The Monorail Suica card is sold in all monorail stations through the ticket machines, it has a monorail character design, as you can see in katoftw's link. It's otherwise identical to a regular suica card. *Tokyo Monorail is owned by JR East. Edited March 4, 2015 by bikkuri bahn Link to comment
mrp Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 According to this site, the special foreigner-only Suica+Monorail discount package with the “unique design” souvenir Suica card was discontinued from April 1st 2014. The card looked like this: Link to comment
YamanoteRider95 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 So is there any other design suica card that i can buy besides the Monorail Suica Card and the Penguin Suica Card? Link to comment
katoftw Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The are many designs. Most are specific to the locations/attractions/events they are near. If you are ordering one before you arrive in Japan, then you will only be issued the standard green version. Link to comment
YamanoteRider95 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 katoftw, can you give examples?: The only example i know is the Tokyo Monorail Suica Card, and i don't think that designh is that nice. Link to comment
YamanoteRider95 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is it possible to buy from any Travel Service Centre, for example in Tokyo station? I;m looking for designs like the Nex Suica Card. Link to comment
katoftw Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Toyko Station would have the "100 years Toyko Station" Suica card. As for other designs, dunno??? Pokemon, NE'X, Rankai, Toyko Monorail, various amine versions etc. Some are limited editions and will never been seen again. Just gotta buy one when you see one you like. Link to comment
spacecadet Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I assume with these special cards that you just pay the 500 yen deposit and don't get it back? Or do these cards cost more because they're assuming people will be buying and keeping them? Link to comment

Or do these cards cost more because they're assuming people will be buying and keeping them? The standard is these are sold at 2000 yen (500 yen deposit plus 1500 yen charge), like the regular suica available from any JR East ticket machine. A selection of past special suica- scroll down: http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2141897493861245701 The railway museum in Omiya seems to issue them every now and then. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) There is also the blue Rinkai Line Suica card. Edited March 27, 2015 by Shashinka Link to comment
