What is PASMO?
PASMO is a convenient IC card
that makes transportation and shopping easy.
PASMO can be used to pay for train and bus fare
and for cashless payments when shopping at participating stores.
With PASMO, you can travel all over the metro Tokyo area
and use participating railway and bus networks across Japan* simply
by touching your card at the ticket gate or at the farebox on the bus.
*Note that PASMO is not accepted on all train and bus networks in Japan.
