Delays & suspensionsLive status →Japanese only; delays of about 30 minutes or more and cancellations
Step-free accessStation list → PPer-line pages list each station's elevators, slopes, wheelchair access, accessible toilets and phone number. Staff set up a ramp to help wheelchair users board; contact the station in advance, as staff must be sent to unstaffed stations or at times without staff.
IC cards and payment in detail
JR Shikoku uses ICOCA (JR West's IC card) and itself refers to stations outside its transport IC card area, so IC cards work at some stations only. Which stations are inside the IC area, and whether other nationwide cards (Suica, PASMO etc.) are accepted there, could not be confirmed: JR Shikoku's ICOCA page could not be read by the fetcher. Contactless credit card touch: not confirmed. P

Before you travel
- Using passesBuying a pass: who can, where and when
The JAPAN RAIL PASS is for foreign tourists entering as Temporary Visitors; get the stamp at immigration. Buying on the official website is cheaper than an exchange order from an agency abroad. Pick the pass up in Japan with your original passport. JR passes run on consecutive days and the start date cannot be changed once you have the pass. - Using passesUsing a rail pass at the gates and on board
Put a paper JR pass through the automatic gate (not the IC-only ones) or show it at the staffed gate; app passes are shown to staff. Always carry your passport. Seat reservations are free with the pass, but the JAPAN RAIL PASS does not cover Nozomi/Mizuho, private railways or JR highway buses, and a lost pass is not reissued. - Seat reservationsBooking seats on JR West: e5489 and JR-WEST ONLINE TRAIN RESERVATION
JR West sells reserved seats from 10:00 one month before travel. Book online on e5489 (Japanese) or JR-WEST ONLINE TRAIN RESERVATION (English), then collect paper tickets at a ticket machine with the 5489 logo, or ride ticketless where offered. - More tipsNight travel: sleeper train and night buses
The Sunrise Seto (Tokyo to Takamatsu) and Sunrise Izumo (Tokyo to Izumo-shi) are the overnight sleeper trains JR lists today; berths cost extra, even with a rail pass. Overnight highway buses are another option; JR Bus Kanto sells seats from 10:00 one month and one day before travel. Buy night tickets early: ticket offices may be closed late at night.
