which can be used in any prefectures but i  can't i couldn't remember so let me just read it

they're really convenient because we  are able to use it in so many places  

so we don't need to carry cash as much as  before but can we really use it everywhere  

so today i have set myself a challenge can i survive a day in japan using SUICA with a budget  

seeing how many places i can  and can't use my SUICA card

guys let's go

while we are heading to harajuku let me tell you how to buy a sika there are two ways to buy it  

number one download the app. You can download the app to your phone using either google play  

or apple store

number two buy it at the station 

most stations sell ic cards at the commuters sells  

counters located in the stations and can also be purchased at the top of machines located outside  the gates

okay we're here first stop will be  my favorite ramen shop in harajuku follow me

before heading there i want  to buy something to drink

let's go

it's been a while since i've been to this ramen shop so i'm really excited i'm not sure if we can  

use SUICA at this particular shop harajuku brands though i could use suica with other branches  

of this ramen shop before so i think we can have high hopes here

this challenge is actually harder than i  thought suddenly not every restaurant allows  

us to play with SUICA yet oh well we just need to give up on this awesome ramen shop this time  

let's just buy lunch at the convenience store

i still want to eat ramen and feel a bit sad about it but you know what let's just move on and think  

positively japanese company BENTOs are actually really tasty and if we just buy something there  

and eat at the park we can save money so it's not too bad also it's a perfect weather for picnic

tamago sandwich featuring my dirty finger

i'm full Since we are in the Harajuku area i want to go to takeshita street and do some shopping  

i hope i can buy something there using my suica 

up oh before going there i want to test something  

let's go

to test if you can use SUICA for taxi let's  wride one. In japan most of the taxi companies  

allow us to pay with suica.

let's try at my favorite shop to see  if we can go shopping using our SUICA

okay seems like we can use zika here so let's pick one

i decided to buy this pen case, Yellow one

so i wanted to buy some souvenir for my  mom at this super cute accessory shop but  

sadly we can't use suica here  so let's move to the next shop

i'll come back here next time okay

i tried four shops in total and i could  only pay with my suica at two out of them  

so when it comes to shopping about fifty percent of the shops in central tokyo let us use Suica

oh that's so cute maybe i should  buy some of them for my niece kawaii

i hope we can use zika here i'll

those are so cute key holders for souvenir too  

anyways and really happy i hope my  niece will be happy with my presents too

i thought it's easy to find a nice  restaurant where we can pay using sika  

but turns out it's not that easy to find  one in shinjuku but it's still fine we  

just need to ask around to see if we can use it or not let's do a small japanese lesson  

quickly here's the phrase when you want to  ask if we can play using your suica sumimasen

which means excuse me can i use SUICA let's ask

okay now we're in the izakaya so let's order  something izakaya in japan are super convenient  

as we are able to order using touchpad screens that usually have the option to be translated  

into many languages so let's go with english we can check our bills from this touch panel  

so it's like when we split it's around 2000 yen per person okay i'm not gonna order any more then  

i also like the fact that it's reasonable  and most importantly water comes free  

okay let's go pay with SUICA

now i'm full and tired let's find  a hotel where we can use SUICA

okay that was quite an adventure today i hope this video can be your help in the near future  

also i'll definitely go to that ramen shop  tomorrow anyways until next time good night
