Hi, want to ask for some advise/experience. Going to travel to Osaka @ end of September 2025.

For ICOCA card we can add and use the digital version in our apple wallet.

Does anyone have experience of topping it up using Apple Pay in Japan itself? especially using MBB Visa/Amex. Want to verify if it works as I am planning to use Apple Pay to top up digital ICOCA card(in Apple Wallet) as it goes during the travel. Also to use as backup in case of cash running out. Thanks.

Thanks for the advise guys.

I have also applied for Wise card and awaiting it to reach. Will prepare Wise card as a backup plan.
