IC cards and payment in detail
Only the local Kumamon IC Card works. Nationwide IC cards (Suica, SUGOCA, nimoca, ICOCA, PASMO etc.) have not been accepted since 15 November 2024: tap a contactless credit/debit card or phone instead, or pay cash. The Kumamon IC Card itself is being phased out: its issuer says transit use ends on 30 September 2027. P
全国共通交通系ICカード（Suica、SUGOCAなど）はご利用いただけません。
Where there is a step between platform and train, staff use the portable ramp carried on every train. P
