Pickup points and meeting tips
- Korea Town streets are narrow pedestrian shopping lanes; drop off on a main road and walk in.
- Tsuruhashi Station (JR, Kintetsu and Metro) is the obvious meeting landmark, but agree which side of the station the vehicle will wait.
- JR Momodani Station is another convenient meeting point for groups heading into Korea Town on foot.
Vehicle access
Lanes in Korea Town and the market areas are too narrow for coaches and even awkward for vans. Plan a walking itinerary with a legal pickup point on a main road at either end.
