Do we need one Suica card per person for Japan train?

“Hello Travelling to Tokyo in December fo 7 people. Wondering for Suica Card (For Japan Train) do we need to have suica card per person? Or can we just have one or two and tap it per person? Thanks a lot for answering my question”

Yes, each person needs their own Suica card when traveling on trains in Japan. It’s super convenient because you just tap it at the gate and go. You can buy a Welcome Suica card right at the airport when you land. This card is especially designed for visitors, so it’s perfect if you’re only staying for a short time. Plus, you don’t have to worry about a deposit! Just grab one for each person, and you’ll be all set to zip around exploring.
