My pleasure. You can feed deer, but be aware that wild animals can attack you. Deer flock when you buy shika-senbei (deer rice crackers) at the store. If you take the time to remove the paper that bundles the deer rice crackers, you may be head-butted by the deer.

Which is better to visit since we have limited days in Osaka. Do we go for Kyoto nara day tour or day tour at a ski resort? March 3rd is our available day. What do u suggest? Thank you!
Hi! I think it is better to visit Kyoto or Nara. It gets warmer in early March and the condition of snow may be a little worse. In addition, many of ski resorts are far from Osaka and they can be reached in about 2 to 3 hours, so it would be hard for a day tour.

To get from Osaka-Namba station to Kintetsu-Nara station, you don't have to take a limited express train as it takes about for only about 30 minutes by taking an express train. It is not necessary to purchase an limited express ticket when you take an express train. You can just tap and go.

Hello! Thank you. I am not very good at English and I am struggling. If there are any mistakes in my English, could you please correct them?☺
What is the difference of limited express ticket to regular express ticket?
Hi! Thank you for the comment. When you travel using the Kintetsu line, you can take these following types of trains with only the basic fare ticket.
Rapid Express
Express
Sub. Express
Semi Express
Local
When you take the “Limited Express,” it is necessary to purchase a limited express ticket in addition to the basic fare ticket.
If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
I can see there is a web site to buy the ticket for this train, it is recommended? I will travel in a month
Do I need to go to the office to get the physical ticket?
Hi! Thank you for the comment. I think it is not necessary to book ticket when you travel between Namba and Nara since you will use the commuter style train, which does not have reserved seats. Do you have an IC card such as ICOCA and Suica or are you going to get one?
Hi shiba shiba, i am planning to visit nara from nanba station. I have a question, for say we buy ticket for 570 yen for kintetsu espress and what happen if we mistakenly take wrong train or more expensive train? Thanks. Nice video
Hi! In case you take the wrong train, you should ask the conductor what to do immediately. If there are unoccupied seats, you will be able to take a seat by paying the gap.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan thanks for replying. Is local and rapid train has the same fare?
Yes. Except for limited express train, the fare is the same.
You can take Rapid Express, Express, Sub. Express, Semi Express, Sub. Semi Express, and Local with only basic fare.

Can I use the kintetsu rail pass ticket through the ticket machine?
Hi! Thank you for the comment. Insert the ticket into the slot of an automatic ticket gate. Your ticket will come out from the other end of the automatic ticket gate. Pick up your ticket and proceed through the gates. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
Hi shiba shiba, are there many locker rooms in nara kintetsu station? I am planning to do transit to nara during my trip from osaka to kyoto but i have to take some heavy luggages together. Thanks
Yes. There are a lot of coin-operated lockers. However, they may be full on holidays.

Shiba Shiba,
I am so confused. You mentioned Osaka Namba station on the video. Is it same Namba station that you showed us from Kansai Airport to Namba station on other video(you took Nankai Line)?
How many stations do they have a name with “ Namba”? When I type in Namba on Google map, it lists a few with Namba station.
Hi! There are 6 Namba stations. That is confusing to not only tourists but also people living in Osaka. Please see the link for details.

Most of my video starts at #1. Nankai Namba Station - Easy Access to Kansai International Airport and Mt. Koya.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan
Wow, 6 Namba stations. If I stay at Vessel Inn Namba, which Namba station is closest to Vessel Inn? I am planning to take Nankai Line from Kansai airport to Namba station. Now I am not sure if this Namba station(Nankai Line stops at Namba station) is close to the hotel.
#2. Kintetsu and Hanshin Osaka Namba Station is the closest to Vessel Inn Namba. However, you can walk from #1. Nankai Namba station to Vessel Inn Namba. 10 minutes' walk will take you there.
Hi. Shiba-shiba thanks for the guide. What would be better to visit on March 3rd? I'm confused whether to visit a ski resort for a day tour or Kyoto nara day tour. I'm not sure if ski resorts are still open in March. By the way, we'll be staying in Osaka.
Hi shiba, this video help me a lot , very easy, can I ask you: go back the same way? Thank so much
Yes.😊
hi shiba. Can I traveling on this train from namba to nara by the Kansai Thru Pass?
Hi! You can use the Pass when you travel between Namba and Nara by the Kintetsu line. (I'll let you know just in case that The Kansai Thru Pass is not valid on trains operated by JR.)

Which is better to visit since we have limited days in Osaka. Do we go for Kyoto nara day tour or day tour at a ski resort? March 3rd is our available day. What do u suggest? Thank you!
Hi!
I think it is better to visit Kyoto or Nara. It gets warmer in early March and the condition of snow may be a little worse. In addition, many of ski resorts are far from Osaka and they can be reached in about 2 to 3 hours, so it would be hard for a day tour. Please see the link below for details.

Regrettably, it is difficult to see snow in Osaka and Kyoto in March. In Kansai area, some years it does not snow at all, so to see snow for sure, it is better to visit Tohoku or Hokkaido.
Hi Shiba Shiba, I'm staying in via inn shinsaibaishi, how do I go to namba ocat to take bus to Kansai airport?

If i stay at fraser residence, whuch station should i take to kyoto? Thank you
Hi! Osaka Metro Midosuji Line Namba Station is very convenient.
I don't understand. Do you need basic fare ticket and express line ticket? Both?
Hello! You can take "Express", "Sub Express" and "Local" with a basic fare ticket only. It is necessary to purchase a limited express ticket in additon to the basic fare when you take "Limited Express." The train service in Japan is really complicated, so if you have any further questions, do feel free to comment again.

If I am using Icoca do I still need to buy a Kintetsu express ticket to Nara or can I just tap and go?
To get from Osaka-Namba station to Kintetsu-Nara station, you don't have to take a limited express train as it takes about for only about 30 minutes by taking an express train. It is not necessary to purchase an limited express ticket when you take an express train. You can just tap and go. However, if you take "Aoniyoshi" limited express train, which is bound for Kyoto station via Kintetsu-Nara station, you have to get an express train ticket. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to comment again.
You are so helpful! Thank you for your information. I have purchased Aoniyoshi train ticket from Kyoto to Namba Osaka but totally missed out the part that I have to buy a basic fare ticket at the station! Thanks for your reminder! The basic fare ticket for aoniyoshi train can use Icoca to tap and go?
Yes. You can use ICOCA for the basic fare. Have a nice trip!
Hi! I just wanted to ask if there are any bus available around 12 am to 1 am from osaka to himeji? I'm attending a concert in osaka ( namba hatch ) and i'm not sure what time the concert is going to end. I'm worried that I might not catch a bus to himeji around midnight and it's my first time traveling to osaka :( thank you in advance!
Thank you for your comment. According to my sources, there is no bus that runs between Osaka and Himeji. Probably the concert ends by the time audience are able to get on the last train, so how about going to Himeji by train?
