 I noticed our Pasmo/Suica cards didn't work in Osaka and they had their own version of these (forget the name), so we purchased one and used one there.  

Hi, @slim05 Thank you for your sharing the helpful infos. Your experiences in Japan is very amazing!!

Yes, you are right! There are several kinds of pre-paid IC card for transportation in each region. Suica is mainly sold in Tokyo and the area of JR Tokai. It's complicated for the visitors. I always use Suica card to get on the train and purchase some food or beverages at 711 or Lawson. However I live in Osaka. Suica is definitely available in almost all of area in Japan. Try again in your next trip to Japan.

Good luck!

If you are a user of iPhone8/8plus/X,/Apple Watch3, you can create mobile Suica card without deposit.
