I’ve been living in Okinawa for a year now, and I’m debating whether I should get a SUICA card. Since you can’t really use it for transport in Okinawa (except the monorail and I think some highway buses), I haven’t gotten one yet, but I know it’s quite convenient when traveling to the mainland. The dormitory at the station I often go to for fieldwork can also be paid with SUICA, so I’m really debating if I should get it or not. My biggest question is also, how easy is it to recharge a digital SUICA in Okinawa?
