Hayakaken (はやかけん) is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transport in Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau introduced the system from 7 March 2009. Its name stands for quick (速い, hayai), friendly (優しい, yasashii), comfortable (快適, kaiteki), and card (券, ken). Hayakaken (速かけん) also means "Because it's quick" in Kyūshū dialect. Like other electronic fare collection systems in Japan, the card uses RFID technology developed by Sony corporation known as FeliCa.

Usable area

All lines of Fukuoka City Subway, namely Hakozaki Line, Kūkō Line, and Nanakuma Line accept the card.

Types of cards

Unregistered card
Registered card: The card can be reissued if a user lost it.
Commuters pass: Needs a registration. The card can be reissued.

Future integrations

The two other systems in Fukuoka, namely nimoca by Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) and SUGOCA by Kyūshū Railway Company (JR Kyūshū), as well as Suica, a card used in Greater Tokyo Area by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), will have integrated services from spring 2010. ^[1] Hayakaken will also function as electronic money at the same time.
