This chapter starts with a playful misunderstanding of the word "Suica," then clarifies its meaning as an IC card for convenient travel in Japan. The discussion also touches upon the regional variations of IC cards in Japan.
Suica is an IC card used for transportation in Japan.
The name Suica is derived from "Suisui," meaning smooth or easy passage, reflecting the card's convenience.
Different railway companies in Japan have their own versions of the IC card (e.g., Icoca, Toica).
Shikoku is the only region in Japan without IC cards (at the time of recording).
