Sangikyo Railway and JR West Japan have announced the introduction of the ICOCA system on the Hokusei Line starting March 2025.
The system will be available at all stations from Nishikuwana Station to the Akekhi Station, but will not be introduced on the Sangi Line. Passengers can clear their fare by touching the IC ticket gates installed at each station during boarding and alighting. A service integrating an ICOCA commuter pass with a stored value (SF) function will also be offered.
ICOCA cards can be purchased at manned station counters at Nishikuwana, Hoshikawa, Tōin, Sohara, and Akekhi stations for a 500 yen deposit, which is refunded without a fee upon returning the IC card.
