Recommended, easy to buy and book seat reservation. For Namba to Kansai, place your reservation using the link in the voucher. Then go directly to namba nankai gates outside 7-11 to scan the QR code. There is no need to exchange the voucher.
Easy to reserve based on the instruction guide given. Just need to use the QR code provided later on at the correct ticket gate, and in and out we go. Would use it again when I travel this route!
Sweet and Easy. Dont panic if you dont receive the ticket immediately, it will be sent to you 3-4 days before the departure date. Just use your phone to check in and select seat, a QR code will be given and proceed directly to the gate. No need to print or exchange ticket.
1st time in Osaka Japan and it was so easy to use the voucher. Book the seat and time then scan the QR code to enter. The train was so comfortable. Love it. Thanks Pelago
Convenient and easy to reserve . I booked my train and seats for the train leaving in 15min time while at the train station and used QR code to check my family into the train station. Very comfortable ride and clean toilets!
Very convenient way to get to Osaka central from Kansai airport. And its all reserved seats so you get a comfy ride. Definitely book your tickets thru Klook before you arrive.
I was able to pre-book my seat, as well as change my booking an hour before on the actual day. Both this and the 26 hour metro pass is easy to use. The youtube tutorial video is very helpful.
Easy to use and good flexibility which allowed us to catch an earlier train and save some time.
