IC cards and payment in detail
The subway's own IC card is Hayakaken. The Fukuoka City Subway is the Hayakaken area of the nationwide IC card scheme, and the Bureau's how-to-ride page confirms that the other nationwide transport IC cards (SUGOCA, nimoca, ICOCA, Kitaca, PASMO, Suica, manaca, TOICA, PiTaPa) also work and can be charged. You cannot combine an IC card with another ticket or a second IC card at the gate. Contactless credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, UnionPay; also debit, prepaid, phones and wearables) work at all 36 stations on all three lines: touch the dedicated reader on the gate; no registration needed. Touch payment is capped at ¥640 a day (¥12,570 a month) per card and device; it cannot be used for through trips onto the JR Chikuhi Line. P

Getting off
- Leave through the gate with the same ticket or card you entered with.
- If your IC card balance is short at the exit, charge it or pay the shortfall at a fare adjustment machine with the Hayakaken mark, then exit. Nationwide IC cards can be charged there too.
