What is the cheapest way to get from Kansai International Airport into downtown Osaka after 10pm?
I seem to recall from previous trips that at least in Tokyo the subways stop running pretty early compared to many cities.
I've found a cheap flight into Osaka but it lands about 10:15pm so this might limit my public transport options.
I want the absolute cheapest way into town. I don't care about convenience. I like slow trans and I like walking and carrying my backpack.
What are the late and cheap options? Airport limousine/shuttlebus or public bus or subway?
Best Answer
If you include Namba in "downtown Osaka", then the cheapest option is a local Nankai train to Namba. Cost is 920 yen, last departure is (currently) at 23:40.
If you want to go to Osaka station or somewhere farther north, then it really depends on where exactly you are going, but if the trip can be done on JR only, then the cheapest option is almost certainly the 1,100 yen Icoca & Haruka offer. For that price, you can go to any JR station in Osaka city, and in addition you can (but are not required to) ride the Haruka limited express to Tennoji. In your case you cannot take the Haruka since the last one leaves at 22:16, but you can take the last ordinary train at 23:32.
