The Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation and Keikyu Corporation will expand the service that allows passengers to ride using contactless-enabled credit cards and similar payment methods to all stations from December 23.
The Toei Subway and Keikyu Railway have been working together to conduct a demonstration experiment at selected stations, which started in December 2024. The number of eligible stations was increased in September, and the service will be launched at all stations from December 23.
Passengers can tap a compatible contactless card or smartphone on a dedicated reader newly installed at the ticket gates to enter and exit. Accepted brands are Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay. The service can be used across operators between the Toei Subway and Keikyu Railway. Fares are standard passenger fares (in units of 10 yen), and transfer discounts do not apply.
