OSAKA: Day 1 - Welcome to KIX

the only pix I have at KIX @ the women's restroom.
sensored soap dispenser and faucet, nice :)

Arrived 7:55 PM Osaka time. Kaya pala everybody's rushing when we landed KIX, have to take a shuttle (approx 30 sec:) to Terminal 1 for the Immigration and Arrival area. No chance for pictorial :)

@ The Immigration - no questions asked but each to scan their point fingers and take a pix so there was kinda a long line but tolerable! An immigration officer is managing the queue.

Right outside the Immigration, there's an Information table. The limousine bus has gone already so no choice but to take the train. Go to 2F, go outside and you'll see immediately the terminal. Choose between JR or Nankai.

We took JR's Kansai Rapid Service to Osaka-Kyobashi. We took the 1-way ICOCA Hello Kitty card which costs us Y3,000.

10:15PM Osaka time and were still at just at TAISHO station. 2 more stations to reach NISHIKUJO where to change to JR YUMESAKI line!

10:19 BENTENCHO...

Finally, 10:24PM and it's Nishikujo line. Just changed platform to take the JR Yumesaki line. We all thought we still need to brave the cold wind walking to the hotel but to our amazement, the Universal City is connected to the JR Yumesaki  terminal :)

10:36PM  and we're now at the lobby of the Keihan Universal city! Yay!!!!
