Pickup points and meeting tips
- Shin-Imamiya Station is the simplest landmark; agree which side of the station the vehicle will wait on.
- Many budget hotels have narrow frontages; meet on the nearest main road and give the hotel name and address.
- Tengachaya Station (Nankai and Sakaisuji Line) suits groups gathering in the south of the ward.
Vehicle access
Main roads such as Route 26 handle any vehicle, but backstreets are narrow. Vans suit hotel pickups; coaches should use an agreed main-road stop.
Use precise hotel entrance and safe designated pickup when arranging group transfers.
Luggage
Travellers heading to KIX often carry large backpacks and suitcases; size the vehicle by bags as well as passengers.
