Boy this Rapi:t train makes a bigger iconic statement than any of the Shinkansen series of trains. As iconic as the Flying Scotsman or UP Big Boy Locomotive
Usually the conductor inspect the tickets in the train cars, and if you do not have an express ticket, you will be charged an express fare at that time. Maybe the conductor was busy and did not have time to inspect the ticket.
Hi Shiba. Thanks for your video. its very informative. we r family of 5 and looking to board on train from Namba to Kansai Airport. i have 5 cabin bag and 3 checked in size bag. Can i bring them on Airport express train or rapit train.
Hello! Thank you for your comment. In your case, you might want to take the limited express Rapi:t. The Rapi:t requires an extra express fare, but you can use the large luggage space. Unfortunately, the Airport Express is a commuter train, so it has no luggage space and is often crowded. Even with large luggage, you may have to stand for long periods of time. If you have any other questions, please do feel free to comment again.😊
Hi Shiba Shiba! It's me again :) I just booked an accommodation around Tanimachi area and I am currently checking my route going to Kansai airport from there. I want to try this Nankai Limited Express, but this video guide is from Namba. I am not sure if I have to go to Nankai Namba station or is there other route you can suggest, it will be a very great help. Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for the commnet. If your hotel is near the station of the Osaka Metro, it's good to get to Namba Station and take Rapi:t from there.
