Tickets Commuter Passes Fare Adjusting Tickets Tickets are available at ticket machines outside the ticket gates of any station. Ø To buy a ticket for the Hokushin Kyūkō, select the 北進急行 button and more fares will become available. In addition to purchasing tickets from the ticket machines, you can also buy an ICOCA card, which can be used on all the train lines and buses in Kobe. It can also be used in some shops in lieu of cash. You can purchase the card at JR Sannomiya Station for ¥2,000. This cost covers ¥1,500 in credit and a ¥500 fee for the card. When you eventually leave Japan, you can hand in the card to a JR stationmaster, who will refund you the ¥500. However, you do not get back any balance on the card. You can re-charge your ICOCA at ticket machines and fare adjustment machines that display the ICOCA symbol. You can only add money in multiples of ¥1,000. Commuter Passes You are required to purchase a commuter pass (定期券 teiki-ken) for the route from your neighborhood to your base school. The KEC will periodically reimburse you for the cost of the pass. Passes can be purchased for 1, 3, and 6 months. You can travel for free between any of the stations on the route that your commuter pass covers, so this can be a valuable resource for traveling around Kobe. Commuter passes can be purchased at a Stationmaster's office. You generally need one pass per train line, but the Hanayama to Sannomiya route (which is technically three lines) is covered under one pass. Fare Adjusting If you travel beyond the route your ticket is valid for, you can simply use the ticket adjustment machine (精算乗り越し) found inside every ticket gate. Insert your ticket, pay the remaining balance, and the machine will give you a new ticket to use when exiting the station. You CANNOT use your ICOCA to pay the remaining balance when you fare adjust, but you can use your commuter pass. Simply insert the pass instead of cash. Fare Adjusting with a Commuter Pass If you used your commuter pass at the start of your journey, but you travel beyond the route covered by the pass, use the fare adjustment machine. Insert your pass and it will prompt you to pay the remaining balance. The machine will give your pass and a new ticket. Use the new ticket to exit the station. If you will be taking a trip that starts outside your commuter pass area, simply buy a regular ticket for the part of the trip not covered by your pass. When you arrive at your destination, insert the ticket in the fare adjustment machine, then insert your pass when it asks you to pay the balance. Discounted Tickets Buying in Bulk from the Ticket Machine You can buy train tickets in bulk to save some money. They are valid for 3 months, and you can take one of the small envelopes next to the ticket machine for storing your tickets. To purchase the tickets, insert your money, select the appropriate button (see table below), then select the amount of the one-way fare. Ticket type Validity Amount Savings Button 普通 futsuu any time 11 for the price of 10 9% 回数券 weekday restricted 時差 jisa 6 for the price of 5 16% 時差回 (10 am-4 pm) 土日 donichi weekends & holidays 7 for the price of 5 28% 土休日回数 Buying from Discount Shops You can also buy individual discounted tickets from a discount shop. They are generally valid for 3 months and can only be used during the specified validity period. There are many different ticket shops, and they will offer different prices. One popular choice is KONAN TICKET (甲南チケット). In order to buy tickets for the subway, you’ll have to use Japanese. All you have to do is say something along the lines of: 三宮から谷上までの[TYPE OF TICKET]チケットを[NUMBER]枚おねがいします。 Sannomiya kara Tanigami made no [TYPE OF TICKET] chiketto o [NUMBER] mai onegai shimasu. Buying tickets for OUTSIDE Kobe (e.g., Osaka, Kyoto, etc.) Many discount shops will have VENDING MACHINE tickets. These vending machines usually have tickets for Sannomiya ~ routes. Mostly, you will find Sannomiya ~ Osaka and Sannomiya ~ Kyoto tickets. You can buy tickets for either JR or Hankyu lines for cheap. (Hanshin probably exists, but is really not worth your time.) These tickets will also follow the same guidelines and ticket types (normal, weekday, weekend) as above. If you are planning on making day or weekend trips, these tickets are HIGHLY recommended. You can easily end up spending ¥800-¥1200 round trip on regular priced tickets for trips to Osaka and Kyoto, but if you buy discount tickets it’ll usually end up only being ¥500-¥600 yen for a round trip. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE KANJI ON THE BUTTONS: 往復 oufuku round-trip 片道 katamichi one-way .

Currently, the school is one of Japan’s leading research and educational institutions with over 16,000 students in 10 undergraduate and 15 post-graduate programs, and is considered an institution of higher learning overflowing with initiative spirit and freedom based on the philosophy of“the harmonization of scientific principles and reality”. At Kobe University, there is a fine balance between the study of arts and sciences, and we have achieved positive performances for both.

The Graduate School of Health Sciences at the University of Kobe not only boasts a high number of Graduate School Master’s program students (54 in each year, 64 from 2019) and Doctoral program students (25 in each year) even by Japan’s standards but also takes pride in its high quality as a university that promotes research. In terms of its specialist disciplines, the Graduate School comprises the three main disciplines of Nursing, Rehabilitation Science, and Biophysics in addition to the integrated disciplines of Public Health.

  • Toward the Future of the Transportation Networks
    Toward the Future of the Transportation Networks - Corporate Profile - JRTT Assists Railways and Coastal Shipping Shinkansen bullet trains substantially shorten travel times and encourage the revitalization of regional economies. Urban railways uphold our cities and make them more appealing. Coastal shipping supports lifestyles and industry by safely transporting people and supplies. Each of these transportation infrastructure components are vital toward ensuring continued convenience for society. To ensure the future of our transportation network, we must continue to provide assistance in transportation infrastructure—social capital that belongs to the whole of society. JRTT Provides Integrated Shinkansen Construction Railway construction requires massive initial investments and long construction periods. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for modern private companies to assume the risks in the time between investing and recovering capital. In addition, railway construction comprises an aggregation of various specialized skills. To successfully create the systems that ultimately provide safe, secure railway transportation, organizations with comprehensive technical capacity must manage all aspects to properly exhibit each specialized skill, including accounting, contracts, land, civil engineering, tracks, electricity, buildings and machinery. Toward that end, JRTT provides integrated construction of the Shinkansen lines based on a scheme using financial resources such as the rail access charge after construction has finished and public
