Hi all,

Doing some planning for my first ever trip to Japan this summer. I created a Suica card today from the English app, moved the card to my Apple Watch (since that will be more convenient at fare gates), got the IC card ID from the Suica Japanese app, and created a smartEX account with that IC card ID.

I see that I can buy tickets for Nozomi Shinkansen on the routes I need in smartEX. When the time comes, I can buy tickets a month in advance and then just tap my Apple Watch at the fare gate to generate a seating information card? (specifically at Shinjuku station for travel to Kyoto)

Do I have that right or have I horribly misunderstood?
