Do I need to print my ticket, or is my phone enough?

Your phone is fine for the exchange step — show your e-ticket at the KATE ticket office and they will issue a physical boarding ticket. The e-ticket itself is not accepted on the bus.

Where exactly do I find the ticket office at the airport?

KATE ticket offices are located at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of Kansai International Airport. Follow signs for 'Limousine Bus' after clearing customs. Full redemption point details are at https://tinyurl.com/3mfp3baz.

Can I choose my seat on the bus?

Seating is free (open) and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early to secure your preferred spot.

My child is 4 years old — do I need to buy a ticket for them?

Children under 6 travel free provided they sit on an adult's lap. If your child needs their own seat, a child ticket must be purchased — these are available at the ticket office onsite and cannot be booked in advance through this listing.

Is there a surcharge for late-night buses to Osaka Umeda?

Yes. A late-night supplement of JPY 900 for adults and JPY 450 for children applies to certain Osaka Umeda departures. This is paid onsite. For the exact operating hours and dates, see https://www.kate.co.jp/info/detail/595.

How much luggage can I bring?

Each passenger may bring up to two pieces of luggage with a combined weight no greater than 30 kg. Bags are stored in the hold beneath the coach.
