I arrive Kansai Airport at 10.30pm too and have decided to overnight in Airport to save the hassle for rushing and also one night hotel cost.

Kansai airport have airport lounge, and I read that by applying as member, you get 50% discount. So staying in the airport lounge wasn't that expensive. But their website mentioned that kids below 18 are not allow to stay in the airport lounge from 22:00 to 05:00. Can consider this option if you travel without kids.

dont even bother with the single booth

99% of the time it's fully used as per my experience, Even reaching there at 9pm is full d

Ya, it's expensive and the only benefit is you can get the product before departure.

Have look through all Global Advance, eConnect and Pururu, but my arrival time is 22:30 at KIX and I got to leave the airport next early morning , so delivery to KIX post office is not possible as their working hours is 9am to 5pm. 1st night stay in temple lodge Koyasan.

Since I need internet connection after leaving the airport. Think I will just settle with the So-net data sim which can be purchase from the vending machine 24 hours in KIX.

Anyone use this before? Compatible with Galaxy Note 4?

when u using international sims,
u need to know u r using which network... such as GSM or CDMA
msia oni hv GSM, if u r buying from msia directly... u r pretty safe... afterall they wont sell cdma card to u
and samsung mobile have very WIDE compatibility of 3g and 4g band, so u r safe oso

the oni problem is the Android APN setting (for internet)
most of the time when u plug in new sims card to your phone, telco will automatically sent a new configuration file to your phone... u just need to click allow update... then u will hv ur Data/Internet running

but some telco didnt sent this, then u hv to set it manually
or call to call center, they will try to resent to ur mobile
make sure u hv your telco toll free number....
like here maxis i will call 123 to the call center thumbup.gif

If you don't know anything or not sure you don't post shit. You don't making people wasting money alright?
For god sake.
Who the hell want to ride a 15 minute Shinkanshen from Osaka to Kyoto? for that 15 minute ride you want him to buy the Kansai Wide area Pass? U crazy? Even I buy the ticket on spot also cheaper than this Pass.

2nd
Osaka Amazing Pass are shit and expensive. Plus it only can used inside Osaka.
Kansai Thru Pass is the only answer you should giving him.

Just Forget anything. That stupid Osaka Amazing pass and Kansai Wide Area Pass.
Just stick 1 Pass only which is Kansai thru Pass. Other all just forget about it.

Kansai International Airport Last bus was 12.30am which is Going Namba Station only. If your Hotel Diamond was far from Namba. I suggest you lay a night at Airport until next morning.

3000 yen for osaka 2 day pass. Worth it if you can cram much of the activities into 2 days

My record was 40k pace walked over 2 days covering 6 attractions that was listed in it ,save me about 2k yen in ticket charges if i were to pay separately thumbup.gif

If you dont mind,just bunk it in KIX, They offer free blanket till 11PM on their information counter for those intending to do so. Saw a few ang moh pulling together 2 rows of seat side by side to make a "single bed"
Reckon you could save quite a sum if you do that

Thanks RegentCid and idunnolol for the suggestions.

I am travelling for 6-7 days in Kobe, and another 7 days in Osaka.
So something which can be of that long would be good.

I am travelling together with my parents, not sure whether they are used to such or not.
I will try to discuss with them and see, since the next morning we will have to travel to Kobe first.

how old will your parents be?

If they are quite old then maybe the bus route in osaka will be better for their legs as some subway entrance/exit is strictly stairs about 30-40 flights thou some have elevators

There is a possibility of long walks just to get out of the subway station to the nearest exit of a attraction like osaka castle. My personal experience will be Tanimachi Yonchōme Station. I have to walk up a flight of stairs to get out of the subway level, walk 300-400 meter to the NHK exit then another 600 meter to the gate of the castle

Not sure if your parents could take those kinds of pacing sweat.gif
