miruca IC Card Credit Reader

Check remaining money on train smart card

When you are visiting Japan, don't get caught out on public transport by not having enough credit on your IC card, aka a contactless smart card. Take out the miruca and slide in your IC card to check how much you have left on the card. The miruca instantly displays the remaining credit and can also be used like a protective pass case, so you can store your smart card inside and still use it at vending machines, ticket gates, and so on. Just press the button on the miruca whenever you want to check your credit.
