Where to meet at this station

Namba spans Nankai, Osaka Metro, Kintetsu-Hanshin, and JR, so agree on a specific gate or underground landmark, not just "Namba."

  1. Nankai Namba Station 2F Central Gate

    — Airport and Nankai Line arrivals

    Best for Kansai Airport or Nankai arrivals, with easy access to Takashimaya and Namba Parks.

  2. Whale Park in Namba Walk

    — Rainy days and Metro/Kintetsu/Hanshin users

    An underground landmark that works well in rain, especially for Osaka Metro, Kintetsu, and Hanshin users.

  3. Namba Hiroba Plaza

    — Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi plans

    A street-level plaza by Nankai Namba, easy for walking toward Dotonbori or Shinsaibashi.

Rainy day

For rain, use Namba Walk or another underground landmark so the group can keep moving indoors.

When crowded

Dotonbori-side crowds are heavy on weekends, so even at Namba Hiroba, pin a specific edge or building side.
