Suica cards are one of the standard cards used for Japanese transit. At most stations and even some restaurants, you can use your Suica card to pay. Usually, people use their physical Suica card, which uses NFC to quickly pay for transit. However, you can actually use your iPhone or Apple Watch. To do this, your device's region must be first set to Japan (Settings > General > Language & Region). By going to Wallet and adding a card, you can see a new option for a Suica card is available. Simply add your card and hold the device close to your physical card. After this, the physical card is no longer useable. In addition, the Suica card can only be on one device at a time. For example, if it is on your Apple Watch, it will not be on your iPhone and vise versa. From here, you can use your device as your Suica card, and it does not need to be woken up to be used.
