JR East integrates apps to expand ticketless travel from Oct 1
Osaka Metro (Osaka, Japan) is running the “Expo TDM Contactless Payment Campaign” from August 18 to October 13.
During off-peak hours (11:00 a.m. to 3:59 p.m.), rides paid with contactless payment methods such as credit cards receive an instant 30% cashback on the fare.
To qualify, you must enter or exit through an Osaka Metro station during the off-peak period; the campaign also applies even if your trip spans through-service sections with partner railways.
