Hi, I am wondering if I can use it to buy shinkanshen ticket. The reason of question is i have quite a lot of money recharged into my suica and I just found out that in order to get my money back from the card is by returning the card but I can't do that because the card is borrowed from a friend and he wants the card back. Thanks

There are also ticket machines that accept payment by UC card.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I was planning to use Shinkansen between Osaka-Kyoto and unfortunately suica does not covee this route. How do i find out more about Shinkansen ticket vending machines that accept suica? Cheers.

You can also pay for a lot of other things by Suica. Restaurants, taxis, convenience stores...

You can buy it by Suica at major JR-EAST(Tokyo area, etc.) stn's MV, BUT not in Osaka. MV is Multipul ticket Vending machine(for LtdExp tickets mainly)'s nick, watch these videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wk0BH752EwTouch "English" button first, anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MevtNXIRApkHowever, Shinkansen does not stop at JR Osaka stn, so you must transfer at JR Shin-Osaka stn. https://www.metsoc.jp/ACM2015/img/kansaimap.jpghttp://ieee-cog.org/2020/css/pic013.PNGIf the waiting time at Shin-Osaka stn is long, Shinkansen plan is worthless usual. A) Osaka to Kyoto: 29 min (Special Rapid, not LtdExp, direct train, Suica works) https://goo.gl/maps/skjBV2oDwgkqyECE9https://youtu.be/MEf81QhuqHYhttps://youtu.be/1FD50Sx-nG4B) Osaka to Shin-Osaka: 4 min (Special Rapid/Rapid/Local, next stop, Suica works) https://goo.gl/maps/FDxj7xzpg4ToSZTo7https://i.imgur.com/ZZBiUQR.pngShin-Osaka Station (transfer): fr 5 min (1F to 4F) https://www.jr-odekake.net/eki/premises.php?id=0610155https://youtu.be/MuWnfYkAAyEShin-Osaka to Kyoto: 15 min (shinkansen)

Thanks guys for the info. My friend's card has his name printed on it so i will not swap with new card. I've been using the card in some shops and few restaurants. Voip I'll take your suggestion to buy JR rapid osaka-kyoto return. Really appreciate your detailed response. Cheers
