Kansai Airport (KIX) Transportation

After you arrive Kansai Airport (KIX) and you need to go to the city near Shinsaibashi心斎橋 and Namba 難波, it is better to take Nankai Dentsu 南海電鉄 than JR.


Where to take Nankai Dentsu 南海電鉄 at KIX?
When you come out from the custom, follow the train sign and take the elevator to 2/F.  
Then, cross the bridge to the 関西空港 station. 
Go to the ticket counter to buy tix first. 
"Rapi:t" is the rapid train to Namba station 難波駅 directly.  As at Oct 1, 2016, there is a special for Rapi:t (one-way trip).  1,130 yen per adult and 570 yen per kid.

There are gates for JR and Nankai trains. Remember to choose the RED side.  The Blue side is for JR trains.

**(you need to insert 2 tickets together into the ticket machine when coming out from the gate)

1. If staying at Swissotel Namba:
- Turn left once you get out from the gate of Namba station 難波駅.  There is an elevator entrance near the gates on 3/F.

2. If staying at other hotels in Shinsaibashi or Namba:
- Take the escalator down to the ground floor.  
Go outside and you will find yourself standing in front of Takashimaya department store 高島屋.  

To Shinsaibasi 心斎橋:  Cross the zebra crossing, you will see the 丸井01 Marui department store. 
Go through the lane then you will stop at the traffic light under the highway.  
Cross the zebra crossing, and go straight.
