DETECTIVE CONAN TOWN: how to get There from OSAKA and KANSAI airport

Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to traveling from KANSAI airport or OSAKA TO CONAN town in Hokuei, Tottori Prefecture, Japan. hope this helps you plan your trip well or build your DETECTIVE CONAN town ITINERARY!

All thanks to Detective Conan!

Detective Conan (aka case closed in many Western countries) was one of the many anime shows that I grew up watching, and even after two decades, it remains one of my absolute favorites. The young detective embodies two of the virtues that I value the most in life: truth and justice.

But truth be told, when the tourism office of Tottori invited us to come visit, we didn’t know anything about the prefecture other than being the hometown of Detective Conan. and we’re not alone in this. Tottori Prefecture isn’t a popular destination for tourists, even domestically. In a world obsessed with giant metropolitan hubs, it’s easy to overlook something as obscure and out-of-the-way as Tottori.

It turned out that Tottori is hiding a world of surprises that appeal to those who enjoy culture, nature, and adventure. (Read: Tottori travel Guide.) but as a big fan of this animated little boy in a suit and bowtie, our time in CONAN town was surely the highlight of our trip.

CONAN town is actually Hokuei, a small coastal town in Tottori Prefecture. Hokuei is the birth place of the author of Detective Conan, Gosho Aoyama. The town is littered with monuments paying tribute to the manga/anime. If you’re arriving by train, you’ll be using CONAN STATION, a train station completely illustrated with characters from the beloved manga. Don’t forget to check out Conan’s House, Beika shopping Street, and the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory.

To get to this cool, amazing town, follow the steps below. but before that, here’s a quick summary:

If you’re already in Tottori City, you only need to take the train to Conan Town.

If you’re coming from Osaka City Center, you need to take the bus to Tottori City first then transfer to the train to Conan Town.

If you’re coming from Kansai Airport, your journey has three legs: bus to Osaka City Air Terminal, where you’ll take another bus to Tottori, where you’ll board the train to Conan Town.

You’ll find a more detailed step-by-step guide below.

Note that the first bus leaves terminal 1 at 6:10am, last at 10:40pm.

Approach the counter for airport BUS to OCAT at the Arrival Hall.

Proceed to departure platform 11 (or whatever platform number you’re told).

Wait for the bus at the platform. If you have big bags, the staff will take them and tag them. You will be given a slip that you’ll need to claim your bags upon arrival at OCAT so don’t lose them.

Board the bus when it arrives. The driver will check your ticket. find your seat number and get comfy. The travel time is around 1 hour, depending on traffic.

Alight at OCAT. The arrival area is the same area where you’ll be boarding the bus to Tottori.

OSAKA TO CONAN town BY BUS

Find the Tottori bus ticket counter. See photo below for how it looks.

Purchase a ticket for Tottori. regular fare: ¥3700. There are months when they offer a special discounted price to foreigners, which is only ¥1000. discounted price isn’t available year-round.

Na palubu autobusu. show the driver your ticket. travel time is roughly 3.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. based on our own experience though, we left Osaka at 5pm and arrived in Tottori at around 8pm, 30 minutes earlier than schedule.

TOTTORI CITY TO CONAN TOWN

You’re almost there! You’re now in Tottori City. It’s time to get to CONAN TOWN!

Before we share the final leg of the journey, we need to explain some very important věci. Město Conan má své vlastní vlaky s tématem Conan a stanici s tématem Conan. Oficiální název vlakového nádraží je stanice Yura, takže pokud používáte Hyperdia, je to jméno, které byste měli vstoupit.

Vlaky jsou zcela ilustrovány postavami z milované mangy, takže se pokuste chytit jednu a dostat se na stanici Conan (stanice Yura).

Doba cestování: asi 1 hodinu.

Jízdné: ¥ 840.

Víte, že jste na správné zastávce, když vidíte spoustu ilustrací postav Conan. Po ukončení stanice Conan/Yura vás přivítá obří socha Conana!

Odtud je většina klíčových bodů zájmu přístupná pěšky.

Vítejte ve městě Conan!

Letiště Kansai do města Conan vlakem

Normálně je autobus nejlevnější možností. Ale pokud navštěvujete více měst v Japonsku a cestujete do Tottori z Osaka s JR Pass, pak pokračujte a použijte ji.

Můžete si vzít některou z několika tras z letiště Kansai nebo City City Center do Tottori, ale tento je nejpohodlnější (tj. S nejmenšími převody).

Na letišti v Kansai vejděte buď vlak Limited Express Haruka na stanici Shin-Osaka nebo na letišti JR Kansai Rapid Service na stanici Osaka.

Vezměte vlak Limited Express Super Hakuto na stanici Tottori.

Přeneste do jiného vlaku na stanici Yura.

Doba cestování: Obvykle více než 3 hodiny, s výjimkou čekací doby.

Bez průsmyku JR je užívání vlaku velmi drahé. Jízdné z letiště do Tottori samotného je 5190 plus poplatky za sedadlo 970 (Haruka) a přibližně 3000 (Hakuto).

Ale pokud stejně plánujete koupit JR Pass, je to určitě nejlepší volba, protože už nebudete muset vydělat žádné další peníze. Celá cesta bude pokryta průsmykem.
