Student Railway Passes that cover separate routes, for reasons such as club activities or cram school, are not available for purchase. Please purchase a Commuter Pass.
It is not possible for customers to change the choice of closest station to the school from the one specified by the school to one of their own choice.

Passes are contracted on a monthly basis, so once the pass is no longer needed, the refund amount will also be calculated on a monthly basis.
For example, if a three-month pass is no longer needed after one month and one day of usage, the amount returned would be the regular pass fare, minus the fare for the two months already used and the 220 yen handling fee.
However, when requesting a refund for a pass that has become unnecessary within seven days of the start of the validity period, it will be calculated at a daily rate.
