OSAKA CITY TRANSPORT
Guide to Osaka City
transport system - information on how to get around Osaka. Part of the
guide to Osaka City Japan.
The convenient Kansai Thru Card can be used on just about anything
that moves in Osaka (as well as the rest of the Kansai region), with
the notable exception of JR trains.
Osaka Subway
Osaka has Japan's second-most extensive subway network after
Tokyo,
which makes the underground the natural way to get around. The Midosuji Line is Osaka's main artery, linking up the massive train
stations and shopping complexes of Shin-Osaka, Umeda, Shinsaibashi,
Namba and Tennoji.
By train
True to its name, the JR Osaka Loop Line (Jp. Kanjo-sen) runs in a
loop around Osaka. It's not quite as convenient or heavily-used as
Tokyo's Yamanote line though.
