It's still about the information about the icoca card. This strategy mainly introduces the types of this card and the scope of these cards, that is, where these cards can be used. Category

There are two main types of icocca, namely, general icocca and icocca time coupons.

General icocca is divided into: icocca, children's icocca (in the picture below) and SMARTICOCA

icocca time coupons are also divided into: icocca time coupons, children's icocca time coupons and SMARTICOCA

ICOCA time coupons

. We will

it's usually just ICOCA and the child ICOCA. Other things don't need

But I still have to explain! !

a common ICOCA is an anonymous stored-value card that anyone can buy and use.

children's icocca is the same as ordinary icocca, but because its cost is half that of adults.

therefore, it can't be purchased through ordinary ticket vending machines, and you have to rely on your passport and other relevant materials to fill out a form to apply for purchase.

1. Children's ICOCA can only be purchased by children aged 6-11

2. If you want to purchase children's ICOCA, please accompany the children and show your "Children's Passport" to the "Green Window" to purchase.

SMARTICOCA is a little more complicated.

however, if you want to buy, you must have a credit card first. Then go to the website or the counter to apply.

(Click this link for the application method)

Its advantage is that you can store the value by credit card, so you can use it without cash.

and time coupons are equivalent to monthly tickets.

the regular edition can be purchased at the ticket machine.

However, if you are just an ordinary tourist, you don't need it ~

Because this is suitable for commuting. Scope of use

ICOCA is like easycard, All-in-One Card and Octopus Card, and it belongs to the electronic wallet card itself.

it can be used not only by car, but also for shopping, and its main application scope is as follows:
