Return Suica Card

Hi,

I will most likely use Suica when travel around Tokyo and Yokohama. Just a question, as I will arrive at Haneda and depart at Narita, if to purchase Suica at the Monoral station, is it possible to return the card for the refund back at Narita?

I do know both are operate by JR East. But read JR East website suggest that I will get a Suica Monorail card, which is different and not to get any refund, unless fly back from Haneda, which is not the case for me.

Thanks.

The Tokyo Monorail is operated by the Tokyo Monorail Company, which is a subsidiary of JR East but operates independently of it. In particular, a Monorail Suica bought at a Tokyo Monorail station cannot be returned at a JR East station.

Easy solution: buy a Pasmo instead.

Option 1: Buy a Pasmo as Firas suggested
Option 2: Get a regular ticket for the monorail, and once you arrive at any non-monorail JR station get a regular Suica there
Option 3: Keep it as a memento, the monorail Suica has a cute monorail design!

Hi all, thanks for the replies.

In particular of buy Pasmo, does that mean I got to buy at Keikyu line?

Yes, and at Narita you return it at Keisei.

About Option 3 :
Suica(and other same function transportation IC cards,too) validity is very long "10 years" fr last using date.
So you can bring it back to yr country no problem.

Also you cannot get left stored fare(charge) all + deposit 500Y all.
Need refund fee 220Y minus.

(exception : you can buy at vending machine with IC sticker

Both companies regular trains(Local/Rapid) operating a lot.

(trivia?)
Most regular sales cute IC card in Tokyo area is "Rinkai Suica".
