About using an IC card

You can use a nationwide interoperable transport system IC card to ride the train.

If you add money to the IC card beforehand, you can swipe your card at the ticket gate and the fare will be automatically deducted from your IC card.

When using an IC card to ride the train, place your IC card on the ticket gate card reader for 1 second.

*IC cards can be used by only one passenger at a time.
*If the amount in the card is running out, you can recharge it using a ticket machine or fare adjustment machine.
