By using the mobile ICOCA service, you can conveniently register your WESTER ID and credit card for easy use. Additionally, if you register a J-WEST card, you will receive triple WESTER points when charging or purchasing commuter passes (for a limited time). Using the service is simple - just tap your smartphone on the reader at ticket gates or shops, similar to how you would with an ICOCA card. There is no need to activate any app or log in either!

The Mobile ICOCA has fantastic features! You can easily top up your card anywhere, so no need to worry about running out of funds. What's even better is that you can use it for train and bus rides across the country, as well as shopping at a whopping 1.59 million stores! Say goodbye to waiting in line for tickets - you can purchase commuter passes wherever you please. And here's the best part: you earn WESTER points with every use, which can be used to top up your card (1 point equals 1 yen). Plus, it's completely free to get one and if you happen to lose it or it malfunctions, they'll replace it for free too. If you encounter any issues, the mobile ICOCA support center is just a chat or phone call away. Pretty cool, huh?

To use the mobile ICOCA service on your Android smartphone, you need to check two things: ensure it is running on Android 10.0 or a newer version (with a few exceptions), and have the latest Osaifu-Keitai app installed.
