because manaca is an ic or integrated circuit based card , there is no need to insert the card into the wicket or fare box . just tap the blue rectangle and go . if that were not enough , this card works two ways like your cash card , opening many other doors as well . counts to frequent riders of the system . depending on how much you use the system per month , you can recieve up to a 15 % discount in fares in the next month . this is to replace the yurika system whereby buying more fare added extra trips on the top ( i . e . the ¥2000 card actually had ¥2200 in fares , ¥5000 had ¥5600 and so on ) . the other aspect of manaca is its use as an e - money card . jr east in tokyo pioneered this several years ago , when they decided to place card readers on all the vending machines located in their stations . this makes it easy for patrons to buy a drink without searching their pockets for change . manaca continues this concept and takes it further with the inclusion of points . when you purchase items using your manaca card , you will collect points that are then good for discounts on your transit fares .
had a great 4 night stay at pousada manaca . gerard was a good host , the location was perfect and the breakfast was fresh and tasty . go for the upstairs seaview room if it ' s available . great restaurant right next door as well , which i would highly recommend ( lua e mar ) .
there is a second type of point called tamarun points , which accumulate on a manaca card in addition to mileage points , and which can only be used with cards bought from meitetsu or toyohashi rail stations . the use of this system requires online registration after purchase of a registered card , after which one can check one ' s tamarun point balance online and get other information related to tamarun . tamarun points can be accumulated by making purchases with one ' s manaca card at participating vendors , and tamarun points can be used at these vendors to make purchases of goods , but these points cannot automatically be used as transportation fare like mileage points .

* if you would like to get off at further stations from the set destination , fares are payed at ticket gates automatically .

my girlfriend and i had a wonderful stay at pousada manaca in december . gerard greeted us when we arrived and showed us to our room . he gave us some of his personal recommendations for activities on the ilha . gerard also was kind enough to arrange transportation for us to and from the rio de janeiro airport , which was incredibly helpful given the language barrier . the location of the pousada was absolutely perfect . right on the beach , beautiful sunset each evening . the main village was just a short walk away , but far enough away that it was peaceful and quiet all the time . steps away from the pousada was a restaurant and bar with great food and caipirinhas . the pousada featured a complimentary breakfast each day which was excellent . overall - a tremendous place to stay and made our visit to the ilha very enjoyable . highly recommended !
traditional use : the indigenous peoples of the amazon have used manaca for ritual healing ceremonies , and in magical and religious observances . the shaman of the kofan indian tribe drink a tea made from the roots and root bark of the plant to see into the body of an ill patient . the plant allows them to understand the nature of the ailment and to help heal the patient . many tribes throughout the amazonian river basin add brunfelsia grandiflora leaves , roots and root bark to their ayahuasca brews , to produce a brew that is blessed by the plant and animal spirits . in peru , the roots are sometimes taken as a plant teacher for a period of one month . it is said that the older , thick roots are toxic , whereas the young roots that are 1 . 5cm or under are safe for use . a dose generally consists of two or three roots ( plowman 1977 ) .
we stayed in the pousada manaca and had a fabulous , relaxing time . the owner gerard was very welcoming as were his staff . the rooms are basic but comfortable and clean and had everything you need , including a fridge and a gorgeous balcony to watch the world go by . the breakfast was amazing , everything you could want to start your day and really enough to take you through to dinner time with a buffet of fruits , cereals , cake , cheese and meats and the most delicious fresh juice . the pousada is a very short way from the main part of the town and feels quieter and less hectic but there are some cool bars and restaurants nearby . the cool breeze off the sea makes it feel less hot than other parts of the town . ilha grande is a wonderful place to get away from the bustle of rio and we went on a fantastic hike to the other side of the island and the atlantic beach which i would recommend to everyone .

as the bus entered paraty i asked the driver to drop me off , which he reluctantly did . pousada manaca ( http : / / www . manacaparaty . com ) is at the edge of town at the top of avenida roberto silveira , the main road into paraty . you can stay on the bus until the bus terminal but then you ' d have to go back to the edge of town , so be brave and get out of the bus as soon as you enter the town , cross the street and you ' ll walk there in 2 minutes . sergio , the manager , is very friendly , relaxed and helpful and i immediately felt that i was in the right place . he helped carry my luggage to my room , lent me a bicycle to get around town , helped me sort out accommodation for trindade ( he actually cycled with me into town the next day and made several phone calls ) and took me by car to the bus terminal . he also arranged a ticket for a lovely schooner trip . breakfast is great with a good choice of fresh fruit . there is a small swimming pool in the backyard and coolers with drinks ( self - service with a tick list ) . i first had a room at the front building , which was spacious , very light and shares its balcony with a cozy sitting area on the first floor . the only thing i found lightly annoying were the beeps from the self - service tyre pump at the gas station in front of . . .
suica , pasmo , icoca and seven more of japan ' s most popular ic cards were made compatible with each other in 2013 . as a result , it is possible to travel on almost all trains , subways and buses in most of japan ' s largest cities with just a single of these cards .
ic cards are rechargeable cards that can be used to conveniently pay fares on public transportation and to make payments at a rapidly increasing number of vending machines , shops and restaurants by simply touching the card on a reader for about one second . more than two dozen train and bus operators across japan have started issuing their own ic cards since 2001 .

nimoca is the prepaid ic card of nishitetsu for nishitetsu trains and buses in greater fukuoka and selected transportation in other cities on kyushu and in hakodate .
the ten cards are valid on virtually all trains , subways and buses in most of japan ' s major cities , including tokyo , osaka , kyoto , nagoya and fukuoka . but there are a few issues to keep in mind :
it is not possible to travel outside ic card areas . both , the origin and destination stations have to be located inside the ic card ' s coverage area . furthermore , it is not possible to use an ic card to travel between disjoined ic card areas ( except when using shinkansen trains ; see details below ) . for example , you cannot use it to travel between tokyo and sendai .
on the tokaido - sanyo shinkansen it is now possible to use ic cards , including suica , pasmo and icoca , on the tokaido - sanyo shinkansen . in order to do so , an ic card and a credit card have to be registered on an english app or a japanese website . afterwards , it is possible to purchase shinkansen tickets online and use the registered ic card to pass through the shinkansen ticket gates . fares are discounted by 200 yen when using this service and are charged to the registered credit card rather than subtracted from the ic card ' s balance . unfortunately , the english app is currently available only in australia , hong kong , malaysia , singapore , taiwan , thailand and the united states . note also that japan rail pass users will not be able to use this system to make seat reservations .
on the tohoku / joetsu / hokuriku shinkansen near tokyo in april 2018 , it became possible to use regular ic cards , including suica , pasmo and icoca , on non - reserved seats of shinkansen trains between tokyo and as far as nasu - shiobara on the tohoku shinkansen , jomo kogen on the joetsu shinkansen and annaka haruna on the hokuriku shinkansen . before you can use an ic card on these shinkansen trains , the card has to be registered at a ticket machine for this service , which is known as the
touch de go
service . fares will be subtracted from the ic card ' s balance .
on other shinkansen trains regular ic cards can generally not be used on shinkansen trains other than the ones mentioned above . the
mobile suica
app can be used on mobile phones to ride the shinkansen in eastern and northern japan ; however , the app is only available in japanese and on phones that support the osaifu keitai functionality .
when riding other trains that require a supplement fee , such as limited express trains , travelers can use the ic card to pay the base fare when passing through the ticket gates , but they need to purchase the supplement ticket separately at a ticket machine , ticket office or online .
when passing automatic ticket gates , touch the card onto the card reader for about one second ( rather than inserting it into the ticket slot ) . the applicable fare will be automatically deducted when you exit through the ticket gate at your destination station . when riding buses , card readers are placed at the entrance and / or exit of the bus . a card cannot be shared by multiple travelers at the same time .
ic cards generally do not provide any discounts over regular tickets . but in greater tokyo , niigata and sendai , train fares can differ by a few yen depending on whether an ic card or a regular ticket is used . this is because fares are rounded to the nearest ten yen in case of regular tickets , but not rounded in case of ic cards . around central tokyo , payment by ic card is always cheaper than payment by regular fares ( by up to nine yen ) , but outside of central tokyo , either ticket type can be up to five yen cheaper than the other .
ic cards can be purchased at ticket machines and ticket counters at the corresponding railway stations . the initial cost consists of a refundable deposit of 500 yen plus an initial amount ( typically 1500 yen ) to be charged onto the card .
the ic cards are virtually identical to each other in terms of coverage . the cards mainly differ on where they can be purchased and refunded . therefore , most people will want to purchase the card available in the first city where they arrive , e . g . suica or pasmo in tokyo or icoca in osaka .
ic cards can be recharged at ticket machines and special re - charging machines found at railway stations and other strategically meaningful locations . they can also be recharged at stations of companies other than the issuing company , e . g . suica can also be recharged in osaka or fukuoka . the maximum amount to be charged onto a card is 20 , 000 yen .
the current credit balance is shown on a small display whenever you pass a ticket gate or make a payment at a store . furthermore , the balance can be checked at ticket machines together with a usage history .
bring your card to the ticket counter of the issuing operator in order to get back your 500 yen deposit . unused credit can also be refunded , however , most companies will subtract a 220 yen handling fee from the remaining balance to be refunded ( no handling fee is charged in case of pasmo cards ) . note that ic cards can only be returned to the issuing company , e . g . it is not possible to return a suica card in osaka or an icoca card in tokyo .
besides regular cards , there are personalized cards which can be replaced if lost ( 500 yen handling fee applies ) , commuter cards which also serve as a commuter pass , and cards for children .
the number of vending machines , shops , restaurants and other services that accept ic cards for payment has been rapidly increasing across japan , especially inside and around large urban railway stations . ic cards are also accepted at a growing number of chain stores , including most leading convenience store chains .
there are various credit cards that double as a transport company ' s ic card . some of them come with an option to automatically recharge the card when the remaining balance gets low . these credit cards are only available to residents of japan .
selected mobile phone models can be set up to serve as a suica card , using the
mobile suica
app ( available in japanese only ) or through registering a suica card with apple pay .

transfer and save money transfer between a subway , train , or bus in a 90 - minute period and get an 80 yen discount on your fare ( 40 yen for children ) .
no need to worry if you get a card registered in your name you can easily get it reissued if you lose it .
the name , dob , sex , and phone number of the user are registered .
fare credit and mileage points can be redeemed if the card is lost and has to be reissued .
an adult commuting on weekday at 09 : 00 and 17 : 00 , and spending 9200 yen on their monthly commute would earn 1104 yen worth of mileage points ( 12 % of their usage total ) .
the same adult also commutes on weekends using a city bus – spending 3200 yen and earning 960 yen worth of mileage points ( 30 % of their usage total ) .
points are calculated differently for users of meitetsu train and buses . points are awarded by the total amount you spend and points are also awarded for the number of times you commute in a month . bonus points can also be earned by commuting on an meitetsu bus . for example – a commuter users meitetsu trains 22 times a month ( 11 return trips ) and spends a total of 12 , 240 yen . the commuter will earn a total of 750 points .
* be aware that if you commute on the tsurumai line or kami - iida line , points will be split between meitetsu and the subway calculations and calculated differently if you travel beyond kamiotai , akaike , and kamiiida .
