You Landed With a Welcome Suica. The Gate Is Not the Place to Find Out.
To say Can I get on with this? in Japanese, say これで乗れますか？ (Kore de noremasu ka?).
The gate said Welcome Suica. You still don't know if you can tap.
In this video
- これで乗れますか？ Kore de noremasu ka? Can I get on with this?
- はい、これで入れます。どうぞ。 Hai, kore de hairemasu. Dōzo. Yes, you can go through with this. Go ahead.
Why this phrase
Kōfuku plays a just-landed traveler at Narita holding the tourist Welcome Suica; Hana plays JR station staff at the fare gate. Nobody explains whether the tourist card actually gates through, so travelers freeze at the gates. One phrase rescues it: これで乗れますか？ Catch staff before the gate, not in front of it. Timely: autumn arrival season, Welcome Suica stands are busy.
