is it possible to go directly from osaka airport to hiroshima WITHOUT going into osaka's main train station? I vaguely remember that some trains from the airport did not go into the center of osaka.

any info would be helpful. thanks.

Not 100% sure but I doubt it. The quickest way would be to get the Haruka from kansai airport to shin-osaka staion the get the shinkansen to Hiroshima.

yes you can. From Itami you can get to Shin-Osaka station.
Do you mean the airport in Itami or Kansai Airport?

From Itami you take the monorail to Senrichuo.
From there you go a few stops to Esaka where you get off the train and wait for Midosuji.

From Kansai Airport, you can take Haruka to Tennoji, then change for Midosuji. Haruka is expensive. It is cheaper to take a regular JR train,　or even to take the Nankai line, and change at Namba.

I would guess that the Haruka is quicker but more pricey, depends what your budget is.

my answer is correct. Midosuji goes to Shin-Osaka, where the shinkansen is. You don`t know Osaka well, do you?

[japanman]

I dodn't say you weren't wrong.

[Brooks]

Wrong? Prove it. I have done this before. I don`t mind saving money by taking the subway.

[japanman]

There is a great site called jourdan or something like that. Can't remember the exact addy. That should help.

[Brooks]

to save money. Look at www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/e-norikeyin.html

[japanman]

That's it yes..

you sound like a newbie. My wife is from Osaka, and I have been there many times.
Just because I work in Machida doesn`t mean I don`t know Osaka.
