Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) will expand the service area of its TOICA IC card in spring 2027.
The newly added TOICA service area will cover the following stations in Mie Prefecture on the Kisei Main Line: Shimo-Sho, Isshinden, Tsu, Akogi, Takachaya, Rokkken, Matsusaka, Tokuwa, and Taki; the following stations on the Sangu Line: Sotoda, Tamaru, Miyagawa, Yamada-Kamiguchi, Iseshi, Isuzugaoka, Futaminoura, Matsushita, and Toba; as well as Suzuka Station on the Ise Railway.
JR Central will also launch a ticketless service on the Limited Express “Nanki.” For reserved ordinary-class seats on major sections of the Limited Express “Nanki,” passengers will be able to board without collecting a paper ticket by booking on their smartphone and purchasing a ticketless product through the online reservation service “e5489.” When using the Limited Express “Nanki,” boarding and alighting will be possible only at Mise, Kii-Nagashima, Owase, Kumano-shi, and Shingu stations.
Although TOICA cannot be used at the stations between Taki and Shingu on the Kisei Main Line (excluding the stations listed above) or at the stations between Suzuka and Tsu on the Ise Railway, passengers will be able to use TOICA for travel between any stations within the TOICA service area or other TOICA-available stations that pass through these sections.
