Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic inductive RFID tag to be used along with an article containing a metal, and an apparatus for accessing the RFID tag. An electromagnetic inductive RFID tag in the present invention comprises a magnetic core member having two ends, each of which has an end face, an antenna coil wound on the magnetic core member, and an IC chip connected to the antenna coil, in which, with respect to a direction of a magnetic flux entering an one side of the end face, a direction of a magnetic flux emitting from the other side of the end face is substantially at an angle of 180 degrees. Information can be read with a high reading accuracy without being influenced by a surrounding metal.
