Train Travel

Are there IC cards that I can use for traveling on public transporation?

Yes, there are pre-paid/rechargeable IC cards that you can use when traveling by public transportation. Please see the pages below for further information:

In addition to Suica and PASMO, different types of IC cards are issued in various regions throughout Japan. All of them work in the same way and are available across the region.

You can return your card to get your deposit refunded, so please remember that (or keep the card as a memento or for your next trip!).

(Note: please note that in areas with fewer transport networks, you will need to purchase tickets in cash).
