IC cards and payment in detail

The ten nationwide transport IC cards (ICOCA, Kitaca, Suica, PASMO, TOICA, manaca, PiTaPa, SUGOCA, nimoca, Hayakaken) work on the Ohmi Railway line. ICOCA is sold (¥500 deposit included) and topped up at station windows when staff are there; you cannot top up on the train. Child IC cards (e.g. child ICOCA) pay a flat ¥10 per ride. P
