@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan When you make your next video? But since its my birthday month can you do Nijojo Castle from Kyoto using Kyoto Subway You are so special
Usually the conductor inspect the tickets in the train cars, and if you do not have an express ticket, you will be charged an express fare at that time. Maybe the conductor was busy and did not have time to inspect the ticket.
Hi Shiba, I'll be visiting Japan soon and have been using a lot of your videos to help with planning! Is it possible to take limited express without taking the Rapi:t train? If not, what's another way to get to KIX without taking the Rapi:t?
Hi! By taking the Nankai "Airport Express," you can travel between Kansai Airoprt and Namba without using "Rapi:t." This is a commuter style train, so it is not necessary to pay additional "Limited Express Fare." If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊 You can see the Nankai "Airport Express" in these videos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqAauD6DlaQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-noZFEmaxoXo.html
Hi Shiba, thank you for making such good videos. I need to book the 6 am train from Namba to KIX. How many days in advance should I purchase the Rapit express ticket? Is there an online platform from where we can purchase? Are tickets available only at Namba station or other stations also. Also, is it easy to get a taxi at 5 am in the namba/shinsaibashi area? We will have a lot of luggage and considered taking a taxi from the hotel to Nankai Namba station but not sure if they will be available at about 5 am. Thank you for your help.
Hi! Thank you for the comment. Tickets can be booked online 30 days in advance. www.howto-osaka.com/en/ticket/ It can be difficult to catch a cab at 5 in the morning but you can ask the hotel staff to call a taxi for you. I hope your tirp will be a greater one, so if you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.
Hello Shiba. I have watched your video, We’re going to visit Japan for the first time. coming from Kansai Airport…what should we take because our hotel is in Midosuji? Kindly advise. Thank you very much.
@@rrp57 Hi! Thank you for the comment. Which hotel are you going to stay? Midosuji street is really long, so if you let me know the name of your hotel, I will be able to give you a good answer.😊
Hi Shiba, What is the most convenient way from my BON Condominium Namba Ebisu to Kansai Airport? This is my first time visiting Japan. Thank You for your advice. We have 5 people and 3 luggage
Hi! Thank you for the comment. BON Condominium Namba Ebisu is located near Osaka Metro Ebishucho Station, so how about this route? Your hotel ↓Walk for a few minutes Osaka Metro Ebisucho Station ↓Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line Tengachaya Station ↓Transfer to the Nankai Line ↓Take Nankai "Rapi:t" or "Airport Express" Kansai Airport Station I think "Rapi:t" is ocmvenient and comfortable although you need to pay extra limited express fare. "Rapi:t" has a large luggage space and you can lock your luggage with chains for free. "Airport Express" has no luggage space since it is a commuer style train and often very crowded with passengers with large suitcases. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan Thank You for your information and help. I want to know Since we have 5 people and quite a little luggage..Is it better to get a private airport shuttle ..? do you know any company to prefers us..? Thank You
I need to catch an early flight from Kansai airport. May I know when the earliest train leaves Namba station ? And can I pre purchase the ticket one day before since I will be in a hurry on the morning I fly? Of course another option is to stay near Osaka station and take the Haruka instead.
Hi! The 1st Rapi:t leaves Namba Station at 6:00 am. You can purchase a ticket beforehand. See the link below for details of how to purchase a tomorrow’s ticket. x.com/shibatayuji/status/1633656774489419776?s=46&t=tPtR87Is9iY4P8pOkb8wVA If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan Thanks Shiba2! :) So once I bought "Kanku tokuwari Rapi:t ticket", it would be enough to ride RAPI:T going to Shin-Imamiya? Thanks for being so helpful and for this informative video! :)
Yes. With "Kansai Tokuwari Rapi:t Ticket" you can get to Shin-imamiya taking rapi:t. I have made a video to show how to get to Shin-imamiya. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-noZFEmaxoXo.html If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
hi shiba.. if i dont have an ic card and i want to go to KIX, what should i.choose? only the limited express ticket or when the boarding section.differs from your limited express ticket?
In this case, you should press "KANKU TOKUWARI Rapi:t TICKET" at 1:23. This is a discount ticket which covers basic fare and limited express fare, saving 140 JPY. If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
Yes. You can take the Nankai Airport Express train (Kuko Kyuko) for a basic fare only, but it can be crowded at certain times of the day and you may not be able to sit down. The Limited Express "Rapi:t" has seat assignments, so you are guaranteed to be seated, and there is plenty of luggage space. If you have any further queations, do feel free to comment again.😊
Hi i am still very confused over the type of tickets.i just want to take the train from namba station to kansai airport. Taking the rapid train so which option should i choose?
Hi! To take "Rapi:t," it is necessary to get a limited express ticket in addition to the basic fare ticket. In this video I already had a basic fare ticket, so I got only a limited express ticket. At 1:24 those who do not have a basic fare ticket should press "When the boarding section is the same with your limited express ticket" or "KANKU TOKUWARI Rapi:t TICKET (discount ticket)." If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
At 1:24 press "KANKU TOKUWARI Rapi:t TICKET." It is a discount ticket including both the basic and the limited express fares. If you have any further questions, do feel free to comment again.😊

@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan so if I don't have the first ticket I should press "when the boarding section is the same......" ok understand, tysm. so my next question is about how much for both the basic fare ticket and limited express ticket? and if I am not in a rush, what is my cheapest option? can I still get the rapi:t? and if so how much is the cheapest compared to the limited?
To travel between Kansai Airport Station and Namba Station, you can select one from among these options. ・“Rapi:t” Super Seat ... 1,700 JPY (basic fare 970 JPY and Ltd, Exp. Super Seat fare 730 JPY) ・“Rapi:t” Regular Seat ... 1490 JPY (basic fare 970 JPY and Ltd, Exp. Regular Seat fare 520 JPY) ・“AirPort Express (commuter type train)” … 970 JPY (You can take this train only with the basic fare.) THE CHEAPEST If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to comment again.😊
Please see the links below for the details of the “AirPort Express (commuter type train).” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqAauD6DlaQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-noZFEmaxoXo.html
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-noZFEmaxoXo.html do you only put the rapit ticket or both regular fare ticket and rapit express ticket? i only saw you put the one ticket?
Hi! Thank you for the comment. The basic fare between Kansai Airport Station and Namba is 970 JPY. You can take the Airport Express (an ordinary commuter style train) with the basic fare only. If you would like to take Rapi:t, it is necessary to pay extra Limited Express fare, 520 JPY for Regular seat or 730 JPY for Super Seat. In this video I used a 1-day pass ticket (a ticket that four trains were printed on) as a basic fare. If you have any further questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan tq for your reply..... when i enter gate i use icoca (correct or not) then i buy rapid ticket to kix or i buy rapid ticket and use it to enter gate
You can purchase the Limited Express Rapi:t ticket before and after going through the ticket gate. This means the Limited Express tickets are sold both at the desk next to the ticket bending machines and by the Limited Expree ticket bending machine located on the platforms. In case the desk is crowded, it is better to go through the ticket gate using your IC card and then get an Limited Express ticket on the platform. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Tk7hDyIlBk.htmlsi=wF0yyK4kZ7lnxOYU&t=289
