Suica and N'EX

I'm tired of NOT hearing about this deal. Most people, for some reason, never mention the Suica and N'EX deal. N'EX is short for the Narita Express - which is the fastest train from Narita International Airport to Tokyo. But it doesn't just go to Tokyo - it stops at several other major train stations in Tokyo (see link at the bottom of the page for all stations). It costs around 3110 yen to go from Narita to Shinjuku. The tickets also covers the cost to some other parts of Tokyo, as long as you don't leave the ticketed area.

The Suica card costs 2000 yen - it has the mandatory 500 yen deposit and 1500 yen to use.

Together, the Suica card and N'EX ticket cost 3500 yen, which is a pretty good deal - especially for tourists.
