Osaka City

Kita, Minami and Midosuji

Umeda is in Kita-ku and is often called simply Kita. JR, Hankyu and Hanshin all have their Osaka (Umeda) station here, alongside Osaka Metro's Umeda (Midosuji Line), Higashi-Umeda (Tanimachi Line) and Nishi-Umeda (Yotsubashi Line), and an extensive underground network links them. Shin-Osaka, the Shinkansen station, is about 7 minutes away on the Midosuji Line.

Namba sits in the district called Minami, where the Midosuji, Sennichimae and Yotsubashi subway lines, Kintetsu and Nankai all have a Namba station. Dotonbori and Hozenji Yokocho are close by, and many restaurants here stay open late even by Osaka standards. Midosuji, the 4 km main street, connects Umeda and Namba, with the Shinsaibashisuji and Ebisubashisuji shopping streets running parallel on the Minami side. From Kansai International Airport the Nankai Rapi:t reaches Namba in about 34 to 39 minutes and the JR Haruka reaches Tennoji in about 30 and Shin-Osaka in about 50.
