Jr Railpass / Regional pass / Pasmo card

Hi there,

All your travel is within the Greater Tokyo area, as such I would recommend using an IC card to get around.

A JR Pass would be good if you travelled to other cities as well, like Kyoto, Osaka and so on.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel, which IC card would be better for us. Pasmo or Suica? I think I've read somewhere that you cannot return the Suica card in Narita Airport in order to get your refund? Also do they refund any balance left on the card as well as the 500JPY deposit? Is there a charge for these cards other than the 500JPY? Again, I think I've read somewhere that they cost £20? I was wondering if you could advise me on the Pocket Wifi or Sim card? I want to be able to use google maps and google translate while out and about. I'm swaying towards a pocket wifi (renting for 17 days) but several people have said SIM card is better? My phone is unlocked so there would be no problem getting a SIM card but I'm thinking that I would need to be in a wifi area to be able to check google maps while out and about? Is this correct? Although a SIM card would be cheaper option than Pocket Wifi? Thank you for your assistance so far....
