Pixel 8/9 in the US/EU will install a Japan eSIM (EID on *#06#). That is not the same chip as Suica.

Welcome Suica Mobile: 180 days, no refund (JR East, March 2026). Overseas Android generally lacks FeliCa. Buy a physical card at the airport machine; keep the eSIM for maps.

Dated SKUs 2026-08-29:

• Ubigi 10GB/7d US$14 (Docomo)
• Airalo 7d 5GB US$10; unlimited 7d US$27 (3GB/24h then 1 Mbps)
