PM Kan will make 220 yen logical

By the way, some shops(*) in Takashimaya Department Store is going to accept Suica from June 30.

Press release in Japanese.

(*)
Shinjuku Takashimaya ------ All floors
Others in the list ------- Depachika area (groceries, bento, bread, sushi-to-go etc.)

I hit upon a smooth plan after arriving in NRT.

Buy a Suica-Nex Combo.
Take a N'EX to Shinjuku.
Exit from the New South Gate at the station.
You find Takashimaya on your right.
Buy sushi and beer there with the 1500 yen charged on your Suica.
Walk 3 min. to Century Southern Tower or 6 min. to SunRoute.
Check in.
Take a shower.
Have sushi and beer.
Go to bed.

--Ideal.
