If so I plan to purchase a Suica at Narita iand put 10,000 yen on it so I can use it for subway trips in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukukoka. In addition, I plan to buy food at stations in Tokyo, Niigata, Akita, Osaka., and a few others. Is this a good plan for using the Suica?

To do this I would have to an ATM before going to the Japan rail office at NRT.

Thank you.
Will you be using a Japan Rail Pass? If so,the pass is good for use on Narita Express. Just get a reserved seat when you get your railpass at Narita. You can also get Narita Express tickets using your Suica at the ticket booth.
