Pickup points and meeting tips
- For Abeno Harukas, agree in advance which side of the building and which entrance the group will use; the streets around the Tennoji–Abeno junction are very busy.
- Hotel pickups inside Abeno Harukas or nearby business hotels should name the exact entrance before dispatch.
- Abeno Q’s Mall groups can be collected on the main road beside the mall rather than at its car park entrance.
Vehicle access
The wide roads at the Abeno junction suit all vehicles, but stopping is heavily restricted. Vans have more options; coaches need a legal stop arranged in advance and should not wait at the kerb.
Agree the hotel pickup entrance before dispatch for busy station-side streets.
Luggage
Shoppers returning from Harukas and Q’s Mall often add bags; a HiAce leaves more room than an Alphard for groups of five or six.
