Happy Bee Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We plan to take a train from Kansai Airport to Namba. Is it a good area to stay? Will it be easy to travel to our parts of Osaka and Kyoto from Namba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Lambe Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Namba is a great place to stay with lots to do and see and very well connected in terms of transport. Actually Namba has four separate railway stations that will get you pretty much anywhere you need to go. To find your way around the area, use this tourist map from the Osaka Info website: http://www.osaka-info.jp/en/plan/images/minami.pdfTo get to Kyoto from Namba, you will need to use the Midosuji Subway Line (http://www.osakastation.com/the-midosuji-subway-line/) from Namba Station, and then transfer at one of three possible stations. If you transfer at Yodoyabashi Station, you can take the Keihan Main line directly into central Kyoto. If you transfer at Umeda Station to nearby Osaka Station you can take a Special Rapid service train to Kyoto Station. Alternatively take the Midosuji Line to Shin Osaka Station and hop on a shinkansen bullet train for Kyoto Station.
