Almost all major transportation operators in Japan have launched their own IC cards, and various regions have also issued their own transportation cards. There are more than 20 kinds of transportation cards in China. For example, Osaka issued ICOCA card, Kanto issued Suica (commonly known as watermelon card), PASMO and so on.

Some cards have the national interoperability qualification of IC cards, and these cards can also be used in other interoperability card fields. For example, with the watermelon card bought in Tokyo, you can actually swipe your card in most routes in Kansai, so if you already have a watermelon card, you don't need to buy icoca.

There are ten kinds of IC cards that are qualified for interconnection and intercommunication, such as Suica (commonly known as watermelon card), PASMO, Kitaca, TOICA, manaca, ICOCA, SUGOCA, nimoca, hayakaken, PiTaPa, etc., which cover more than 90% of cities in Japan.

If you want to buy a card before you go to Japan, you can find a universal treasure. After arriving in Japan, you can buy it at Kansai Airport or at self-service ticket vending machines, ticket offices and tourist service centers in major stations.

It includes a deposit of 500 yen at the time of purchase If you buy a 1000 yen card, in addition to the deposit of 500 yen, there is a balance of 500 yen in the card.

Of course, the deposit will be refunded when the card is returned, but if there is a balance in the card, a handling fee of 220 yen will be deducted. If it is less than 220 yen or there is no balance, you don't need to make up. Therefore, it is recommended to use up the balance in the card before returning it, and there is no need to pay the handling fee.

Although all kinds of IC cards have been changed, they should be returned at the site of the card issuing company. Icoca can only return the card at JR West Japan Station, but if there is a plan to go to Japan in the future, there is no need to return the card in a hurry. The transportation card is valid for more than 10 years, and can be used next time.
