The trip to and from Kansai Airport to Namba is almost equal to the two-day pass. If you go to rinku towb, you will make a small profit, and you can also explore other areas for fun. It was very convenient and fast to collect the tickets. There was no waiting at all. The staff can speak Chinese.

This is a must buy. If you buy one get one free, even if you just use it to eat in the restaurant, it is very cheap and close to half price!

Klook booking is very simple. You can redeem physical tickets by scanning the QR code at the ticket vending machine. There are staff on site to assist. The platform is also very easy. It’s so fast that I don’t have enough time to experience the train 🤣 I want to eat a group meal and take photos. I’m at the airport in a blink of an eye. It’s very easy. Highly recommended!

easy, convenient and reliable. I’ve always used Airporter service since their booking process is easily understandable in English. I’m glad they are now on Klook which somehow makes it more affordable due to several discounts and promos. I’m also glad thay they didn’t mix up our luggages since they are supposed to go to different locations.

The seats are comfortable. It only takes about 40 minutes to drive from Kansai Airport to Namba. Pre-purchasing tickets from Klook is quick and convenient. Recommended

you can either do what I did, haphazardly booked a seat before you board or you can estimate sometime when you know your landing time. it’s easier and faster to exit the custom if you have visit Japan website with QRcode. there are only 1 gantry with the QRcode and you have to enter and exit with the gate with QRcode scanner only. we fell asleep and when the train reached the station, the conductor rudely woke up us and ask us faster get down.
