Using a pre-paid IC card
An IC card will become your most treasured possession during your stay in Japan. Use it to transfer swiftly between train lines and hop onto waiting buses and boats with a minimum of fuss. You can also use it at a number of vending machines and convenience stores, some taxis and for other services.
Most regions have their own IC card—each adorned with a catchy name and cute character. These cards can be used nationwide and make travel and small purchases easier. Most IC cards require a security deposit of 500 yen when purchasing the card.
Research the many uses of IC Cards to help make your trip to Japan easier and more convenient.
