How much would a monthly pass for Suica card be in Tokyo?

Question:


I am moving to Tokyo to attend college for four years and I wonder if it would be in my best interest to buy a Suica card. I have heard that there is a monthly pass that you can pay a certain amount on and travel unlimited between certain stations. About how much would that cost per month and how many stations would be included?

Thanks.

Answer:


No. Not at all monthly charge for Suica card itself.
Suica card needs deposit \500 at first.
If it is not use, you can get pay back \500 returning Suica card to JR Station 'Mdori no Madoguchi'.

Monthly pass?
I think It may mean season ticket or rail pass for designated period.
There are three type of rail pass for one month, three months and six months.
It is same thing. At first you pay \500 to get Suica card which is written rail pass digital information to and use the Suica card as a rail pass.

You can use Suica card in every Tokyo Station (including, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama prefecture and so on).
If you buy rail pass for designated period, it can't issue rail pass which needs to change over three different railway company.
