About Nakatsu Station
Nakatsu Station is an Osaka Metro Midosuji Line station (station number M15) in Nakatsu 1-chome, Kita Ward, Osaka. It is an underground station with a single island platform serving two tracks. There are two ticket gates on the Shin-Osaka side, the North-North Gate and the North-South Gate, and one on the Umeda side, the South Gate. Hankyu Railway also has a station with the same name, but it is about 300 meters away and is not a transfer station. The area sits near the northern part of the so-called "Hankyu Village," a cluster of facilities run by the Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group (a major Kansai railway and entertainment company). By bus, the nearest stop is "Chikatetsu Nakatsu," where Osaka City Bus route 34 runs toward Osaka Station and Moriguchi Depot.

Travel tips

Getting around Osaka is mostly done by train, so it goes more smoothly if you have a rechargeable IC card ready for each person.
