Operator-wide facts from Nankai Electric Railway's own pages; individual lines and stations can differ.
Nankai is in the PiTaPa area. PiTaPa was introduced in July 2006 on all Nankai lines, named as the Nankai Line, the Koya Line and the cable line (鋼索線, the Koyasan cable car). ICOCA and the other nationwide transport IC cards (Kitaca, Suica, PASMO, TOICA, manaca, Hayakaken, nimoca, SUGOCA) can be used in the PiTaPa area under the nationwide mutual-use scheme. Touch the card on the automatic ticket gate. On PiTaPa-area railways such as Nankai, ICOCA must be charged before you ride, is charged the normal fare (no discount fares) and cannot be used to buy tickets or pay a fare adjustment. PASMO notes that a few lines do not take every card. The Nankai pages checked do not name any Nankai section where IC cards cannot be used, but the 2006 announcement is the newest official statement found that covers every line. How fares are handled at unstaffed stations on one-man sections was not confirmed. P
導入路線 南海電鉄全線（南海線・高野線・鋼索線）／PiTaPaエリア（阪急・阪神・地下鉄・京阪・近鉄・南海など）Nankai Call Center (南海電鉄コールセンター), 8:00–21:00. If you need help (e.g. a wheelchair user needing help boarding and alighting), staff at staffed stations can guide you to the platform and help you on and off the train; contacting them in advance makes this smoother, though they may not be able to help at some times, sections or station layouts. Book online with 「南海サポートほっとネット」 (Nankai Support Hot Net) on Nankai's website or the Nankai app from one month before until 18:00 the day before; after that, call the call center, ask at the station counter or use the station intercom. Tel. 050-3090-2608
