About this experience
The Nankai Electric Railway Limited Express Rapi:t swiftly connects Kansai International Airport to central Namba in just 34 to 39 minutes, depending on your selected route, making it one of the quickest options available. True to its German-derived name meaning "rapid," this rail service excels in both speed and efficiency. The design of the train is inspired by the concept of retro-futurism, combining power and speed as particularly evident in the sleek head of the locomotive.

Do I need to print the ticket?
No. The ticket is entirely digital. You scan your smartphone at the dedicated digital gates — no printout is required.
I'm travelling with children. What do I need to know?
Children under 6 travel free when accompanied by a paying adult. Children aged 6 to 11 are eligible for this product, but only adult-priced tickets are sold here and the price difference will not be refunded. Each child requires a separate smartphone to display their ticket. For a child-priced ticket, purchase at the station ticket counter instead.

I'm buying tickets for a group. Can we all use one phone?
No. Each ticket must be on a separate smartphone. If you purchase multiple tickets, you will need to transfer each one to the relevant traveller's device. All passengers sharing a reservation number must board the same train.
When can I reserve my seat?
Seat reservations can be made from the day of purchase onward, but must be completed at least five minutes before departure. Note that seat reservations are unavailable on Tuesdays between 03:00 and 04:30 Japan time due to scheduled maintenance.
