JR West Starts Operation of ‘Expo Temporary Exit’ at Sakurajima Station
Yurikamome will start a riding service using touch payment-enabled credit cards and QR tickets from March 17.
This initiative is conducted in collaboration with Sumitomo Mitsui Card, Visa Worldwide Japan, JCB, Nippon Signal, and QUADRAC. It utilizes the “stera transit” public transportation solution provided by Sumitomo Mitsui Card.
By tapping a compatible card or smartphone on a newly installed dedicated reader at the ticket gate, passengers can board and disembark. Supported brands include Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and China UnionPay. Mastercard will be added progressively.
For riding with a QR ticket, passengers can use the “Yurikamome Enjoy Pass” purchased from a ticket sales site by holding it over a dedicated reader installed at the automatic ticket gate.
