Did you just keep adding money in small amounts? Sounds like that's simple enough to do if linked to your Apple Wallet.
The minimum reload is 1000 yen. I did 1000 or 2000 as we went along.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you posted this trip report, we are going to Tokyo and Osaka first of April and hoping you won't mind a couple questions.
Did you ever try using a taxi, we are also a group of 4 (2 grandparents, adult daughter and 13 yr old grandson), I know vehicles are smaller- do you know if they allow 4 passengers in a taxi. We are staying in Shibuya and taking the metro to DisneySea is a lot longer by subway than taxi- like 1 hr 2 min plus a 17 min walk vs 18 min taxi ride, but the taxi ride will be expensive, especially if we have to take 2!
Your fantastic tip about tax on purchases, could you have just shown your passport card or did you have to carry your actual passport with you, I would much rather leave the passport locked at the hotel so was wondering.
We really appreciated your mentioning the teamLab Planets, I didn't even know I wanted to go see it until I looked at it on youTube, so very grateful you mentioned it.
We are also doing Universal in Osaka- at either it or DisneySea- did you happen to notice anything that seemed more like American food- like a burger or pizza for tweens. Our grandson is excited to see Japan but unfortunately not the most adventurous of eaters, we know you can't take food in the parks, or vending machines inside the parks that might have chips?
Huge thanks for the time you took to share your trip... there has not been a lot of updated info post covid.
They must not be stopping them to attach a photo to each persons ticket like they do at DL in CA, I'll be mentally prepared for the stampede :0) Here even the bag check lines are daunting but thankfully it's kept everyone safe. And this will be my first experience with curry popcorn- we love regular popcorn, this will be interesting.
out of curiosity, when anyone was buying a Suica card, as we'll need 4 of them ( I don't have a phone wallet set up), was it best to take U.S. cash to buy the Suica cards or to charge them to a credit card? This will be our first trip using them, before we just bought metro tickets from the machines for each destination I believe. Where did you prefer to buy them- a bank, 7-11, metro station, Narita airport. We already have the bus transfer from Narita to the hotel in Shibuya. Now I can't imagine going with them.
