EXCEPTIONS:
While IC Cards are fairly comprehensive, there are a few exceptions: You can’t use an IC Card to…
…travel on the Shinkansen.
…ride the Limousine bus to the airport.
…pay for the additional limited express fee.
… travel outside of your coverage area. (For example, you can use the same IC Card to travel in Kyoto and in Tokyo, but you can’t use it to travel *from* Kyoto to Tokyo.
COMBINED DISCOUNTS:
1) ICOCA & HARUKA: This pass gives a discount on the Kansai Airport Express “HARUKA” train and an ICOCA Card.
