IC cards and payment in detail

TOICA and all nationwide mutual-use transport IC cards work on the Aikan Line. At Okazaki, everyone using an IC card on the Aikan Line must touch the IC gate on the Aikan platform (platform 0), even when changing to/from JR; otherwise a wrong fare may be deducted. If you forgot, do not touch at your exit station: tell the staff or crew. P

「ＴＯＩＣＡ」のほか、全国相互利用の交通系ICカードもご利用いただけます。

Getting on

  1. Buy a ticket at the ticket machine, or use an IC card. Through tickets to nearby JR stations (Tokaido, Chuo, Kansai, Taita and Taketoyo lines) can be bought at the machine: choose the Okazaki/Kozoji transfer or other-company button.
  2. At Okazaki: touch the pink/blue IC gate on platform 0 when you board the Aikan Line, including when you change from JR. If you combine an IC card with a paper or magnetic ticket, go out and in through the upstairs gate.
  3. Credit cards are not accepted for payment: pay in cash.
  4. Some stations are unstaffed all day; ticket machines and IC charge machines work only during station hours.

Getting off

  1. Put your ticket through the gate or touch your IC card when you leave.
  2. At Okazaki, touch the IC gate on platform 0 when leaving the Aikan Line or changing to JR.
  3. If you rode beyond your ticket, pay the fare for the extra section.
Wheelchair assistance
