Japan's Nationwide Mutual Usage Service is a system that enables reciprocal use of the country's ten major transportation IC cards. Launched on March 23, 2013, it allows passengers to use their card across participating public, private, and third-sector transportation systems throughout Japan. As of May 12, 2025, the service was available on services operated by 348 transit operators.
The ten participating cards are Kitaca (JR Hokkaido), PASMO (Pasmo Co, Ltd.), Suica (JR East), manaca (Nagoya Transportation Development Organization and MIC Co., Ltd.), TOICA (JR Central), PiTaPa (Surutto KANSAI), ICOCA (JR West), Hayakaken (Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau), nimoca (Nishitetsu), and SUGOCA (JR Kyushu).
Holders can generally use any of the ten cards in the service areas of the others, while some regional IC cards outside the system can also be used through separate interoperability agreements. Nine of the ten cards also support reciprocal electronic money use; PiTaPa is the exception. The cards use Sony's FeliCa RFID technology.
Despite the nationwide interoperability, cards generally cannot be used for continuous travel between separate service areas, with some exceptions. A symbol consisting of the letters "IC" combined with a pantograph and wheel motif identifies participating services and is displayed on ticket gates and fare collection equipment.
