Trisha Cruz Cuason Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi! We will be arriving in Osaka at 1130am, January 28, our base is really Kyoto but would like to visit the dotonburi and shinshaibashi area before going to Kyoto. Which station should we go to from KIX? Namba? Is there a left luggage service in that station so we can go around the city? After which do we have to go back to Osaka station to get to Kyoto from namba station? Appreciate your reply. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Station Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The best way to travel from Kansai Airport to Namba area (close to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi) is Nankai Airport Express to Nankai Namba station: https://www.osakastation.com/the-nankai-airport-line-the-airport-express-rapit-services-for-kansai-airport-namba/ There are lots of coin lockers around Nankai Namba station, if your luggage doesn't fit in a locker, there is also a luggage storage facility nearby: https://www.osaka-info.jp/en/facilities/cat37/luggage_storage_osaka_namba.html Going to Kyoto from Namba you will need to take the Midosuji subway line to Umeda (connected to Osaka Station) or Shin-Osaka station and take a JR train to Kyoto from there. https://www.osakastation.com/the-midosuji-subway-line/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
