Shin-Imamiya Station

Two different station for Subway and Airport Nankai line. You should come early to buy ticket for airport line due to limited ticket in peak time. Easily pay by cash on vending machine or using Suica card. Always clean on platform and toilet. Staff are friendly and supporting.

One of the most convenient station in Osaka. Connects to most major railway lines. Place is clean. Not all platforms have access for disabled.

Nankai and JR railway cross station, easy to transfer, the both platforms are at same level.

Strongly recommend this route to Kansai airport. Much cheaper compare to JR line.

The only down side is during interchage there are 2-steps staircase you have to carry your heavy luggage along because I didn't see any lift facility around.

A 2-steps staircase will save you nearly 2000 yen (compare to JR line) per person is worth. Ignore this comment if you are taking premier flight.

Don't know what the bad reviews here are about. The station is def in less-ritsy part of town, but it was still clean, station staff were helpful as always, and I experienced non of the aggressiveness other mentioned. There is some great food nearby the station, as well as.cheap hostels. Would take it over any station in the US without a second thought.

Enjoyable listening to departure music at Shin Imamiya, it makes me feel peaceful

Transferring trains is fun! Switching to another line in 2 minutes is insanely fun! 😄 I don't recommend a relaxed pace in such scenario; brisk walk!

Easy access to main rail stations of Osaka city.

From shin imamiya you have a direct line to Kansai airport. For me it was railway number 3 but ask to an employee.

very good start point to visit zoo, eletronic store and tourist spot ( Namba, Dotonbori, Osaka castle)

You may find guide lines on the ground.

前往USJ時，是從JR新今宮站東出口進入的，有電梯可以搭程，1樓購票

從USJ回程時也是是搭JR到新今宮站，再從站內轉搭南海電鐵往關西機場方向，本來出站想搭電梯，但因為JR有電梯方向是東出口，出去後外面會繞一大段路走到南海電鐵搭電梯，可能要拖著行李走10分鐘左右...所以果斷選擇走西出口方向提行李上樓梯，累一小段...省一大段！

從JR出站後，馬上就可以入站到南海電鐵了，搭回程往關西機場方向，可以到入站後的左前方，有電梯可以從4樓搭乘到3樓，再從3樓找到可以搭到3號月台的電梯搭到4樓，不用爬樓梯真好QQ

構内は狭いが、二面四線の立派な駅。東口はJR単独で阪堺線との乗り換えに便利、南海電車との乗り換えは西口から。
2024.2 南海の駅を利用しました。

這邊 JR 跟南海共構，搭環狀線去其他地方，或是搭南海去機場，都超方便，只是 JR 只有東口有電梯，南海是西口有電梯，注意一下自己的行李要怎麼搬。

看評論說西出口沒有電梯可搭，本已做好要提行李箱爬樓梯的準備了，結果當天要搭南海特急到機場的時候發現是有電梯的！
不知道是不是新建好，總之有電梯輕鬆許多！

ある夏, 真っ暗な南海6000系中間運転台で夏夜風を涼んだ。夜香が吹込む窓の先には闇に煌く夜の都、高速電車は揺らぎ颯進む。

JR駅と、南海駅が、対面にっ！！
こんな接続駅はじめて見た。

JR西日本と南海電鉄、泉北鉄道が乗り入れている主要駅になります。新世界や通天閣があります。色々な人たちでにぎわいがある場所になります。
