Kippu (train tickets)

Like many things, t​he train ticket machine in Japan is the same no matter where you go – whether you’re in Hokkaido or Okinawa. 

The basic procedure is:

  • Look up your stop on the map above the machine to get the price
  • Select the right price on the machine and pay
  • Get your ticket and change
  • Enter your ticket into the turnstile and retrieve it when you go through.
  • Enter the ticket into the machine when exiting once you get to your destination.
