Cashless payments are becoming more widespread in Hokkaido. [Note] For example, Sapporo Municipal Transportation Bureau’s IC card, Sapica, is now accepted at all Lawson stores throughout Hokkaido, joining the Seico Mart convenience store and the Sapporo Drugstore chain in its adoption.

In addition, all Sapporo Municipal Subway stations have implemented cashless credit card payments, aiming to increase convenience for tourists and others by eliminating the need to purchase tickets or charge IC cards. The average daily user count in April was 1,768, but by September it had risen to 4,604, nearly tripling.

Furthermore, Sapporo’s city tram is aiming to introduce cashless credit card payments in spring 2026. Cashless payments are apparently spreading not only in Sapporo but also in Asahikawa. It seems cashless payments are spreading throughout Hokkaido.

Speaking of cashless payments, THC Sapporo also accepts not only cash but also VISA and MasterCard payments.
