RapiCa

RapiCa (ラピカ, Rapika) is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transport in Kagoshima, Japan, introduced by Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau, Nangoku Kōtsū, and JR Kyūshū Bus, from April 1, 2005.

Just like JR East's Suica or JR West's ICOCA, the card uses RFID technology developed by Sony corporation known as FeliCa.

Another bus operator in Kagoshima, namely Iwasaki Corporation group issues another smart card called Iwasaki IC Card.

A future smart card to be introduced by JR Kyūshū will have an integrated service too.
