Pickup points and meeting tips
- Horie streets are narrow and lined with small shops; meet on Yotsubashi-suji or another main road nearby.
- For Kyocera Dome events, choose a pickup point away from the dome’s immediate crowd-control area, and agree it before the event ends.
- Business hotels around Awaza and Nishi-Ohashi often have space for a van at the entrance.
- Utsubo Park is easiest to reach from the surrounding avenues rather than the park’s internal paths.
Vehicle access
Main avenues suit all vehicles, but Horie side streets and small hotel frontages generally fit only the Alphard or a HiAce. Large coaches should plan for a legal stop on a main road.
Small boutique hotel frontage may not fit large coaches.
Luggage
Boutique hotels here have small lobbies and little kerb space; have bags ready at the door so loading is quick.
