How to buy tickets for non JR trains?

Hi there,

When you transfer to non-JR lines, you'll leave the JR zone through the manned ticket gate, and will need to pass through a subsequent non-JR ticket gate to access non-JR lines. In front of the non-JR gates you'll find a ticket office and ticket machines for use of the non-JR line. To save you always purchasing tickets, you can purchase a prepaid card that is accepted on many non-JR lines - in Osaka I recommend the PiTaPa card, and in Tokyo the PASMO card, both of which are available for purchase at metro and non-JR stations in the cities.

Hope this helps!

Thank you
