Nationwide cards pay the plain adult or child fare (no IruCa discounts or train–bus transfer discount); some cards with operator-specific discounts cannot be used. IruCa cannot be used outside its own area. Nationwide cards can be topped up at IruCa windows at major stations; they cannot be refunded or reissued by Kotoden.
