Coming to Tokyo and looking for the best way to get around the city? Good news for visitors: two of Japan’s leading public transport operators have released special-edition IC transportation cards with Japanese-inspired designs.
Offered by JR East, the new Welcome Suica card features a classic design of cherry blossoms on a red background. It’s available with prepaid amounts ranging from ¥1,000 to ¥10,000. Pasmo’s version of the tourist transportation card, on the other hand, is called the Pasmo Passport and it features world-famous Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty posing in front of iconic landmarks in Tokyo and Japan, including Mt Fuji and Tokyo Skytree.

If you find it cumbersome carrying around coins, this is the perfect way to travel cashless. Just like any regular Suica or Pasmo card, these tourist-edition cards are reloadable and can be used to pay fares on all trains (except shinkansen), buses and metro lines, as well as to make purchases at conveniences stores, vending machines and selected shops and restaurants that accept IC cards.

There’s no discerning difference between the two cards in terms of usage. The only exception is that for Suica, there is no upfront deposit; you have to purchase a stipulated prepaid amount to start. Meanwhile, you can get a Pasmo card with an initial amount of just ¥2,000, which includes a non-refundable issuing fee of ¥500.
You can reload both cards with more credit as and when needed at train stations nationwide. These cards also offer deals and discounts at selected attractions (check their respective websites for details).
However, do note that these cards can only be used for 28 days, after which they become invalid. But hey, the designs make them a cool memento to remember Tokyo by. Welcome Suica can be purchased at JR East Travel Service Centers, Narita and Haneda airports, as well as major train stations in Tokyo. Pasmo Passport is available at Narita and Haneda airports as well as select train stations across the capital.

Kofu, Yamanashi prefecture

Japan is accessible country even though cities are located in the country side.

Kofu is known for history and fruits such as peaches and greaps.
Hoto(ほうとう)
If you like Japanese castles, you can see some castles.

Station
Kofu station is very accessible.
Elevetors are accessible to go out of the station.
Bathrooms are accessible; there are enough rooms to move around in there even by a wheelchair. Please see the last pictures, bathrooms in the station.

Sidewalk
Sidewalk near the station is wide enough to Go around by the wheelchair, but Kofu is surrounded by the mountains, so you can see many slopes.
Sightseeing
Historical places near Kofu station are accessible to enter. There are lifts and ramps, but the inside is not accessible.

For instance, we need to take off our shoes where we go into the places or the inside is too narrow to go around by the wheelchair.
In conclusion, Kofu station is so accessible, however historical places might not be accessible. Thus, you need to confirm if the places in Kofu are accessible beforehand. O also recommend that you take people who can help you. It is so much helpful to look around Kofu.

You can use Minato Mirai line, which is JR, get to the stadium. There are two exits. One exit(North exit) has an accessible elevetor and washroom. This exit (North exit) is far from the stadium, but the other side(South exit)does not have the accessible elevetor and washrooms.

Namba is one of the biggest city in Osaka.

Doton-bori(道頓堀)

There is a big path in Namba area. The path goes the bridge,Doton-bori, famous for the tourists.
The path is very crowded and has some bumps, thus you might feel uncomfortable.
There is another pavement besides the main path,does not have many people like that of main path. I recommend you use the way.
I recommend that you go to Doton-bori with your companions.

Accessiblity
There are six stations in Namba area.
Please think Nankai-bamba(南海なんば) station as the base station because the station is the biggest station in the area.

I'm gonna explain how to get the subway(Osaka metro 御堂筋線)from Nankai-bamba. Osaka metro(御堂筋) connects to Umeda(Osaka) station, the biggest station in Osaka.

1. Go out of the ticket gate at the center exit.
2. Turn left and go straight to the stop.
3. There is the elevator on your right side.
4. Go to the ground.(1st floor)
5. Go straight and go out of the station because there is no way to go to the subway inside of the station.
6. Go to the elevetor, No. 1 exit, outside next to the building.
7. Go to the underground.
8. You'll see the subway station.

In terms of bathrooms, there are many accessible bathrooms in the stations, the big buildings abd mall such as Takashimaya (高島屋). If you are wondering how to move around Numba, refer to the website below.

Asakusasa is known for -syao-ji(Senso surain)
The way of going to Senso-ji from the subway is confusing.

If you choose the wrong ticket gates, you cannot go to the grand floor because there are no elevators connecting the grand floor.
Thus, you need to choose the right ticket gets to go out of the station.

Please follow the "elevator symbol"or you should ask the station staff before going out of the ticket gates. I have put some pictures as reference.

Around Senso-ji, the pavements are narrow, but the area has many accessible places.
You can go into Senso-ji because there is hidden elevator next to Senso-ji.

You can get on Jinriki-sya(rickshaw)
as well. You can look around Asakusa without using the wheelchair.

However, finding accessible bathrooms could be hard since Asakusa is old traditional area. I really recommend that you go to the bathroom in the station around Asakusa.

There are two places close to Hitachinaka Bayside park.
