Railway Ticket and First Class Car Ticket (μTicket)

Railway Tickets

There are several kinds of railway tickets. The railway tickets purchased at ticket vending machines are basic fare tickets. The fare differs according to the distance traveled, and child fares (ages 6 - 12) are about half (fraction should be valued up to the 10yen unit) of the adult fares. Only one person is valid for each ticket, and with a stopover, the ticket will become invalid. For further information, please ask the station staff.

	SF (Stored Fare) Card “Tranpass”
		Tranpass is a system in which one can use the same card on the Meitetsu lines (bus and train, excluding some areas), the city operated transportation network (city bus and subway), the Aonami Line and the Linimo. Our original Tranpass card is called the “SF Panorama Card”. When a Tranpass card is used through the automatic ticket gate and there are possibilities of more than one route, the amount of the lowest fare will be deducted. SF Panorama Card is for adult use only. In case of children, please purchase a ticket at child rate using the SF Panorama Card through the ticket vending machine.

First Class Car Ticket ( μTicket )

(μ=Greek letter for MU)

The charge for First class cars is \350 (regardless of the age of person), and the tickets for First class cars are also called μ（myu）tickets.
First class cars require First class car tickets (date & time of boarding, seat number, traveling zone specified on the ticket) along with railway tickets.
All seats for First class cars are reserved with First class car tickets. In case an infant under the age of 6 occupies a seat, a railway ticket for a child is required along with the First class car ticket.
In case you board the First class car without a First class car ticket, please pay the charge on board. However, a seat reservation can not be made in this case; therefore you may not be able to be seated if there is no seat vacancy.
First class car tickets are available from a month prior to the date of boarding, and are sold from 5:10am through 12:15am (business hours of stations).
In case you miss a train, First class car tickets are not valid after departure of the train specified on the tickets, and no changes or refunds can be made.
