PRE-PAID TRANSPORTATION IC CARDS
Physical and digital options
IC cards are rechargeable cards that can be used to conveniently pay fares on public transportation and to make payments at many vending machines, shops and restaurants by simply touching the card on a reader for about one second. Dozens of train and bus operators across Japan have started issuing their own IC cards since 2001.
Welcome Suica, Pasmo, Icoca and seven more of Japan's most popular IC cards were made compatible with each other in 2013, making it possible to travel on almost all trains, subways and buses in most of Japan's largest cities with just a single of these cards.
Instead of physical IC cards, it is possible to use digital versions of some of the cards on mobile phones; however, at present, oversea tourists can do this only if they own an Iphone.
