We could get some out of ATM when we land at NRT - but we have tight rail connection to make, and the flight of SEA tends to get late lately.

I recalled trying to buy N'EX ticket at Tokyo Station using the machine w/ my credit card and could not proceed bc the machine asked for a PIN, ended up queuing and buying from the counter.
