Osaka tourism traffic guide

Generally speaking, when traveling abroad, you will choose to join a tour group or travel independently. There is basically nothing to say about joining a tour group. What Xiaobian wants to say is about traveling independently. Everyone should know that traveling independently is actually a difficult thing. In a strange place, Xiao New Year has prepared a traffic guide for everyone. Pregnant women fly

Because pregnant women are brought with them this time, if they fly, they need to go to the maternity check-up hospital in advance to issue a perinatal certificate, or a certificate called gestational age, to prove that their pregnancy is less than 32 weeks, and they are not fit to fly, so they can only show it to the counter staff when they exchange their boarding passes.

when I checked in in Beijing, I arrived at the airport earlier than my wife, and I went through the check-in formalities directly with the perinatal certificate. The counter staff learned that there was a pregnant woman taking the flight. After the formalities were completed, they asked the pregnant woman to arrive at the airport later and need to go to the counter for an "interview". In fact, they simply asked if they were healthy and could continue their journey. In the meantime, I asked the counter staff if we could arrange a spacious seat and gave us a window seat in the front row of the non-emergency escape door very neatly. It was great.

However, check-in in Osaka is not as smooth as in Beijing. First of all, they were asked about the gestational age, because they couldn't understand the perinatal proof; Secondly, the airport staff will ask us to fill out a disclaimer of the crew, to the effect that pregnant women ask to fly by themselves, and any problems have nothing to do with them; Thirdly, when I asked for a spacious seat, I was told that I needed to pay more. However, after boarding the plane, it was found that there were no people in the cabin at all, and the first row of seats were basically vacant.

There is no need to queue up for security check. This is a good welfare, but machines are all checked by people. It seems that you don't have to wait in line when you go through the customs. When you see a special window, only the disabled are marked, but the pregnant woman is not marked. If you are in a hurry, you don't ask questions. Airport transportation

1. South Sea Electric Railway

We only reserved one Osaka Hotel, which is in Nambo, so when we enter the city from Kansai International Airport, we choose the most convenient South Sea Electric Railway, which is a direct stop without reversing and getting off at Nambo Station.

2. the advantage of JR airport line

is that it is convenient to go to Tennoja.

3. The airport bus

is convenient to Mei Tian, and there are night buses to NanhaiNanbo.

the most convenient way to get back and forth from kansai international is to take the Rapi: t or the airport express of Nanhai Electric Railway. The former is a designated seat, which is less than 1 minutes shorter than the latter and much more expensive. We decisively chose the preferential package for foreigners, YOKOSO! OSAKATICKET。 It's a one-way ticket from Kansai International to Nampo, which contains an express ticket and a one-day ticket for transportation in Osaka, a set of 15, with children halved. It is much more cost-effective than buying two kinds of tickets alone. And if you don't catch up with the special rush on the day of ticket purchase, you can change to the airport express or ordinary train at will, and the interval is very short.

interestingly, when buying tickets at Nanhai Electric Railway in Kansai International Airport, we first went to the NANKAI counter and were told that foreigners had to go to the next office to buy tickets. When I entered the office, I opened my mouth and spoke a sentence in English. The Japanese guy at the counter spoke Chinese with a slight accent and asked, What can I do for you? There was such an operation ~ and then we successfully chose the package we wanted to buy. Because we arrived at the station just a few minutes before the next urgent departure, so the time was a little short. The boy at the counter kept urging us to buy it quickly, or we would miss the train. I said that I finally met a fluent Chinese and wanted to ask more questions about the one-day ticket. The boy quickly answered the questions, then stared at us and asked, Do you still want to buy it? If you don't buy it, you won't be able to catch it. Hurry up and buy it and catch the bus ~ ~ While pointing out the time to us later, you said, Look, it's almost time. Go quickly ~ ~ Well, ok. . In fact, the platform is very close, and it takes less than a minute to get down the stairs.

In the meantime, two pairs of Chinese CP came to ask about the package tickets. The guy at the counter was busy issuing tickets for us here, and the other person answered, and the routine was still the same: buy quickly, or you will miss the train ~ ~ What's there to talk about ~ ~ You have to catch the bus ~ ~ An elder sister asked if you can buy tickets at the counter outside? The young man said that he could buy it, but if he bought it here, he would have to wait in line. If he didn't speak English neatly, he could buy it here, and he would miss the bus ~~

Well, it's really awkward. .

On the issue of one-day traffic tickets, it is mainly seen from official website that they are only allowed to be used on the day of purchase or the next day, and are valid from the date of use to the end of the day. However, some strategies say that you can use it any day, so I asked the guy at the counter and gave the answer: of course, you can only postpone it until the next day, and you can't choose the time at will.

In addition, when we used the one-day ticket, the first trip was by bus. When we got off the bus, the driver just looked at the ticket and didn't swipe the card. So at that time, we also thought that the one-day ticket might be used at will, but the official regulations only allowed it to be extended to the next day. But later, we were required to swipe our card by bus or subway. Only then did we confirm that we can only use it the next day. If we swipe our card, the information of the card has been written in the sales, and we will definitely not be able to swipe it beyond the time limit, so let's not take any chances and follow the official regulations of others.

In addition, if you buy a one-day ticket separately, you can buy it at several preferential purchase points for foreigners mentioned in the above link to Osaka Transportation Bureau. If you buy it directly in the subway, it will be several hundred dollars more expensive than buying it with a passport at a designated place.

For the transportation from Nampo to Kansai International Airport, we bought the airport express ticket directly from the ticket vending machine of Nanhai Electric Railway. Because we took the early flight directly from Nanbo to the airport that day, it didn't involve other traffic problems, just pay attention to the train time in advance. The time of South China Sea Electric Railway can be found in the given link. Local transportation
