How to get from Namba Nankai station to Namba Oriental Hotel

We will be arriving to Osaka from mount Koya(Namba Nankai), and staying at Namba Oriental Hotel. I saw several reviews with some instructions on how to find this hotel, but still confused.

Could anyone possibly post some easy instructions? :)

Also, I am considering sending my luggage to this hotel from Kyoto, prior going to Koyasan. Do you know if they will store the luggage for a day(not sure if this type of hotel has enough space)?

Thank you!

You don%26#39;t need to care above thing. When you send your luggage, specify the delivery date and time to the hotel. Delivery company will keep your luggage until the delivery date.

Hirano, thank you so much for your answers! I am happy I don%26#39;t have to worry about the luggage.

About the instructions how to get to hotel - I saw this map before. However, everyone still reports it is hard (confusing) to find the hotel. So, I was hoping that someone who actually walked to this hotel from the rail station can post some easy directions :)

I try to explain the direction.

From the Nankai Namba station North exit, go east and you may soon find the following picture.

Enter to this narrow street(南海通), you may see Starbucks on your right side. Go straight along the street until intersection.

then make turn left and walk straight a bit, you may find the entrance of Oriental hotel like this picture on your right side.

Good luck.

Also, here is the Japanese-language access map. It may help if you need to ask directions:

Hirano, Rodger, You are the best! Thank you so much!

Hi HMX,

In my 08 Jan 2009 comment on the Namba Oriental, I gave the following directions ( with photos ).

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; To get to the hotel from Namba Station it may be easier to go up to street level by the Takashimaya Department Store. There are two arcades opposite. Take the right hand arcade and walk about 100 metres, the main arcade the swings left and the Oriental is about 25 Metres on the right hand side. See photo.%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

If you read this and view the 2 arcade photos you should find the hotel quite easily. Unfortunately the photos in TA do not show the same detail as in the full size version.

In the photo of the arcade opposite Takashimaya, you can just see the ';Star'; of Starbucks to the right of the Arcade.

In the photo ';Arcade turns left';, as soon as you turn left, The hamburger chain ';Wendy%26#39;s'; is immediately on the right. A little further on, same side, are 2 blue vertical hanging flags of the Oriental Hotel.

Thank you, Stanley!
