Taking the Train
Steps to get on the train
01 Buy ticket
- To ride a train, you can either buy a ticket with cash from a self-service ticket machine or charge the fare to a prepaid IC card such as PASMO or Suica.
- Check the railway map showing the fare, confirm your destination, and either buy a ticket for the required amount or charge the amount to PASMO or Suica.
02 Enter ticket gate
If using ticket
Insert your ticket into the upper slot at the ticket gate.
Your ticket will emerge when you pass through the gate. Don't forget to take it.
If using PASMO or Suica
Touch your PASMO or Suica card to the area showing "IC" on the ticket gate.
03 Go to platform
Go to the platform for your destination and wait for your train.
You can check train destinations, departure times, and other details from the train information board.

When the door opens, you can board the train.
Wait for people to get off the train before boarding.
05 Exit gate
