Tourists in Japan struggle with purchasing and topping up physical transit cards. Build a digital version of Suica that integrates with mobile wallets, offering easy top-up and usage. Target international tourists visiting Japan for short-term stays. Launch with basic transit card functionality and expand with tourist-specific features like travel guides. The biggest risk is competing with existing digital payment solutions.
