Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) will launch a mobile IC card service for the TOICA transportation IC card.
Starting March 17, the service will be available for Android smartphones. It will support the purchase and refunds of commuter passes within the TOICA service area, as well as charging (topping up) the card.
The service utilizes the system behind JR West’s Mobile ICOCA. By downloading the Mobile ICOCA app and issuing an “ICOCA (TOICA model)” card, users will be able to use the service.
The service is available on devices running Android 10.0 or later with the latest version of the “Osaifu-Keitai” (mobile wallet) app installed. Registration as a member of WESTER is required.
