This time, I took the JR Kansai Airport Express HARUKA from Shin-Osaka Station to Kansai International Airport. Using the e-ticket QR code to enter the station was very convenient, as I didn't need to queue up to exchange for a physical ticket, saving a lot of time. The train car was clean and comfortable, with spacious seats and ample luggage storage, making it ideal for travelers with large suitcases. The direct journey from the city to the airport was very smooth, without the need for multiple transfers, which is very friendly for first-time visitors to Osaka. I recommend purchasing tickets in advance so you can use them directly upon arrival, making your return trip arrangements easier and more efficient. I will definitely use this service again on my next trip to Kansai.

Our family of four booked this tour to make special memories during our independent trip, and meeting Guide Kang Hye-ja allowed us to create rich and wonderful experiences. Her clear, concise explanations and relaxed approach made the entire tour enjoyable and filled with laughter. She pinpointed great restaurant recommendations, shopping lists, and photo spots, ensuring we had a productive day without wasting any time. Guide Kang Hye-ja is truly a top-tier guide in the industry, haha! If we visit Japan again, I'd love to try other tours with U-Tour.😊

It was great value for money. In Japan, transportation costs alone are no joke, but they provided round-trip bus service, guided us to various places in Korean, gave us tips, and even recommended good restaurants. I went with my parents, and after just eating and doing nothing else, this Kyoto trip was a fun addition to our Osaka trip.

Had a convenient experience overall. The location is great, close to Dotonbori, shopping areas, and train stations, making it easy to explore Osaka.
The room was small but clean and well-equipped, which is typical for APA hotels. It’s a good option for travelers who plan to spend most of their time outside and just need a comfortable place to rest at night.

On my return trip to Osaka, I once again purchased the Kansai Thru Pass for 3 days. This time, I visited Maiko Park in Kobe to see the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge. Afterward, I spent a day each in Uji (a World Heritage site), Kyoto, and Nara. For the return journey from Nara, there are also limited express trains available to get back to Nihonbashi or Namba Station.

Easy to use, and booking seats online is very simple. Departing from Namba Station, you'll arrive at the airport quickly. Highly recommended.

This was a unique and enjoyable experience, especially for animal lovers. The micro pigs were very used to human interaction and seemed comfortable being around visitors. We were not allowed to carry them, but we could gently pet and interact with them. Many of the pigs would simply climb onto our laps and settle down, making the experience feel very natural and relaxing.
The staff were friendly and patient, and they did their best to answer my many questions about the pigs and their behaviour. It was interesting learning more about how they are cared for and their personalities.
One thing we quickly noticed was that the pigs suckled frequently and seemed to pee quite often, which added to the authenticity of the experience!
As a bonus, there is a delicious pancake restaurant located directly below the pig café, making it a great place to enjoy a meal before or after your visit.
Overall, a memorable and heartwarming experience that we would recommend to anyone visiting Osaka.
