Which is cheaper for 10 days? JR East Pass or N'ex/Suica?
1). I am staying mainly in Tokyo area for 7 days with 2). 1 Half day excursion to Matsumoto Castle 3) 1 Half day at Tokyo Game Show, Makuhari Messe 4). 1 Full day at Tokyo Disneyland 5). 2 days in Nikko
Which is cheaper to get around in Tokyo with, since the JR East Pass 10 day is $300... is it cheaper to get a Suica card and just pay-as-I-go? I am asking about the Suica card cause I don't know how much I am going to be using the trains/subways in Tokyo and I don't know the fares out there.
Can you advice?

1). I am staying mainly in Tokyo area for 7 days withThe average tourist probably spends about 200 to 700 yen per day on JR trains in central Tokyo. 2). 1 Half day excursion to Matsumoto CastleHalf day? The trip there and back already takes half a day! Round trip by JR train: 6 hours, 14,000 yen Round trip by bus: 6.5 hours, 6,000 yen 3) 1 Half day at Tokyo Game Show, Makuhari MesseAround 1000 yen for the round trip 4). 1 Full day at Tokyo DisneylandAround 400 yen for the round trip. 5). 2 days in NikkoFrom 2640 yen by Nikko Railways: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.htmlNow you can make the calculations.

Wow, so it is much cheaper just to get the N'ex/Suica instead. Wow, I probably will save about $100.
Oh, about Matsumoto I am going there out of Shinjuku at 6am, arriving at 9, then coming back at 4pm. Sort of a half day. Just staying 3 hours in Matsumoto.
Thank you so much for the help.
