You wait ages for a Yorkshire-set folk-horror dripping with grief and dread, and then two come along at once.

One of the most useful items for travelling in Tokyo (and Japan) is having an IC transport card. Not only can it be used for riding trains and buses, it’s also accepted as a form of payment at selected stores and restaurants.

It’s an inconvenience, as sales are currently limited to monthly commuter passes and special IC cards for foreign tourists.
