IC cards and payment in detail

The local totra card and the ten nationwide IC cards (Suica, PASMO, Kitaca, manaca, TOICA, PiTaPa, ICOCA, Hayakaken, nimoca, SUGOCA), plus Mobile Suica and Mobile PASMO, work. With an IC card you can use any door: touch the green reader beside the door when boarding and the yellow reader beside the door when getting off. The IC fare is the same as cash. Paying for several people with one card: go to the driver's cab when getting off. Top up on board at the fare box at the front or rear of the train while it is stopped. Credit cards, QR-code payments and Visa touch cannot be used. P

Getting on

  1. IC card: board through any door and touch your card on the green reader beside the door.
  2. Cash: before boarding, take a numbered ticket (整理券 seiriken) from the machine on the platform, near the front end in the direction of travel. Keep it clean and unfolded.
  3. Cash: you may board through any door, but you pay at the driver's cab at the very front when you get off, so the front car is the most convenient.
  4. One-day ticket (Light Line 1-day ticket, worn around the neck): use any door; no need to show it.

Getting off

  1. IC card: get off through any door and touch your card on the yellow reader beside the door.
  2. Cash: check the fare on the monitor behind the driver's cab (fares depend on distance). Put the fare together with the numbered ticket into the fare box in the front car, by the driver, then get off through the front door next to it.
  3. No change is given: change money beforehand, or at the fare box only while the tram is stopped.
  4. Paying for several people with one IC card, or showing a disability certificate: go to the driver's cab when getting off.
