I'm not sure if this is news to some of you, but since Suica and PassMo (and I guess, Icoca?) are interchangeable now, there's a great deal for FOREIGNERS to Japan - the NEX+Suica Package.

It can only be purchased at NaRiTa airport, and costs 3500Yen. However, that includes one way on NEX (which costs 3000-4000 Yen normally), the 500 yen deposit, and 1500 yen on the Suica Card.

Other key facts:

• Foreign passport holders only,
• Goes to any station along the NEX route, though Yokohama, for only 1500 Yen
• Collectable Suica card for those of you who do that sort of thing.

JR East Website Explaining the Package (which is, of course, confusing)

P.S.: This is actually a better deal, even if you go to Japan regularly (or at least to the airport regularly) than buying tickets separately, I think (especially if you go to Yokohama). The normal ticket price to Tokyo Station is 3000 yen. With the ticket you pay 3500 - and you can just bring the suica to the JR office and transfer the money to your existing suica and get the deposit refund. Conceivably they should do it - they seemed to be fine with it when I combined my Suica and my ex's as a present for her when I left Japan.
