      For some, yes, but the teiki system will still make them necessary for many.

      So I tested this out in Tokyo, Felica vs NFC and frankly Felica was superior in terms of reliability and speed.
      Through wallets or phone covers it didn’t always register and sometimes it was fighting with other NFC cards, so it was safer to pull out the specific card or device and it needs an Internet connection, which during major rush hours can be unreliable.
      Speed wise, it was slower to register the purchase/payment which is also because the transaction is being performed over the Internet rather than between the booth and the chip in the card/device and as such it you sometimes have to slowdown or wait for the beep.
      Finally only one or two toll booths accept where I was testing and as such it is a major PIA during rush hours, especially if people coming in from the opposite direction, since you can’t use a different toll booth and/or swap to a different payment system.

      Fine for a tourist or traveling causally outside of rush hours, but for regular traingoer Felica is a better experience.
      Also forgot to mention points, with Felica you can get JR points in addition to credit card points, e.g. once to charge (credit card points) and JR points when you actually spend your balance, compared to NFC which is just credit card points.

      Won’t be the end since the majority of Japanese citizens don’t own a credit card or even can’t get a credit card, so, I don’t see IC cards going anywhere…physical cards may reduce in quantity as many use PASMO and Suica on their smartwatches and smartphones.

      We had the privilege of using it during Christmas in Osaka. This was such a blessing for a family of 6 with grandma and small kids!
      You would be lying if you claim you never had an incident where everyone got through and that last family member was short a few yen and it’s always grandma that has no idea how to add money.

      Not really. How other countries have it you can pay a monthly concession for unlimited rides or discounted fare for local children and elderly while the working adults and tourists can choose to get concession or use cc.

      Available in Fukuoka and i like that it has a cap of 640 yen so even if you take many rides the maximum you’ll pay is 640 yen. Weirdly this is not really advertised in English though

      IC probably still going to be the go to for teiki and people who do not want/can’t have a credit card (children, refused by CC company, just don’t want credit as part of their life)

      > Starting March 25, it will be possible to board Tokyo **Metro** trains by touch tapping your credit card.

      Fixed the headline.
