Moving On From Osaka
At Kansai International airport , the international departure lounge is on the fourth floor, and you must pay a Y2650 departure tax here before leaving. Domestic departures are on the second floor. It's worth noting that Kyoto, Nankai Namba and JR Namba stations all have CAT (city air terminal) facilities, as does the jet-foil terminal on Kobe's Port Island, where you can go through check-in procedures for Japanese and some other airlines. If you plan to depart Osaka by bus , check first with one of the tourist information centres on timetables and which station to go to. Among other places, there are ferry services from Osaka to Beppu, Miyazaki and Shin-Moji on Kyushu , and to Kochi, Matsuyama and several other destinations on Shikoku . In addition, there's a slow boat to Shanghai, China, which leaves twice a month from Osaka Nanko International Ferry Terminal, close by Cosmosquare Station, where the Techno Port line meets the New Tram line. It's always best to check current timetables and fares with the tourist information office.
