Cautions

  • ・By using the WEST-QR on your smartphone, you can smoothly pass through ticket gates by scanning the QR code needed to board your train at the IC card reader.
  • ・To use this service, you will need a smartphone with an Internet connection to obtain the QR code information when entering and leaving through the ticket gate. A QR code in a screenshot or printed on a piece of paper cannot be used to board the train.
    * If you do not have a smartphone, you can still use WEST-QR by registering your ticket under the WEST-QR account of a companion. In this case, the WEST-QR can only be used for the same travel itinerary as the companion who registered the account.
  • ・When using this service, you are required to confirm the “JR West WEST QR Service Privacy Policy” and agree to the “JR West WEST QR Service Terms of Use”.
    *Residents in some areas must agree to the “Data Cross-border Transfer Agreement”.
