Very unfortunate timing!!! Due to a global shortage of semiconductors, as of August 2 2023, all sales of NEW Suica and Pasmo cards will be temporarily suspended! (Nobody knows for how long) The Welcome Suica or Pasmo Passports will still be available on a limited basis. Welcome Suica will only be available at Major Japan airports. As of now, Pasmo is still available at locations outside the airport. They have also waived the ¥500 deposit. Please check the following links for more information:

Exactly what I needed before I go to Japan. I booked my hotel in Shibuya since you mention the Highway Bus in Shibuya Mark. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for the tips and the pin drop on Hancho street!

These are the biggest take away a from this video that helped us while we were there

1. Get there earlier, we beat the crowd at the Pagoda and got there at 6:00 and had a good hour to get all the shots we wanted
2. The mountain gets covered by clouds as the day progresses. By noon it was covered in clouds but the morning was completely clear
3. The Hancho pin drop.

Thanks again!!
