Hi,
We are going to Nikko/Kinugawa-Onsen for a day trip but do not have time to get a Nikko Pass to cover the train trip.
We are thinking of catching a Tobu Train (Rapid/Section Rapid) from Asakusa Station to Kinugawa-Onsen Station first thing in the morning (6:20am - Tobu Skytree Line Section Rapid).
We wanted to know if Kinugawa-Onsen Station has a card reader so that we could use the Suica/Pasmo card or if a ticket needs to be purchased at Asakusa Station?
And is buying a ticket for the Rapid/Section Rapid Train any different from buying a normal ticket at the machines?
A side question, what happens if we used the Suica/Pasmo card to get on at a station but at the arrival station there is no card reader? How will we pay? Will the card be charged?
Thanks!
