Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to traveling from KANSAI airport or OSAKA TO CONAN town in Hokuei, Tottori Prefecture, Japan. hope this helps you plan your trip well or build your DETECTIVE CONAN town ITINERARY!
All thanks to Detective Conan!
Detective Conan (aka case closed in many Western countries) was one of the many anime shows that I grew up watching, and even after two decades, it remains one of my absolute favorites. The young detective embodies two of the virtues that I value the most in life: truth and justice.
But truth be told, when the tourism office of Tottori invited us to come visit, we didn’t know anything about the prefecture other than being the hometown of Detective Conan. and we’re not alone in this. Tottori Prefecture isn’t a popular destination for tourists, even domestically. In a world obsessed with giant metropolitan hubs, it’s easy to overlook something as obscure and out-of-the-way as Tottori.
It turned out that Tottori is hiding a world of surprises that appeal to those who enjoy culture, nature, and adventure. (Read: Tottori travel Guide.) but as a big fan of this animated little boy in a suit and bowtie, our time in CONAN town was surely the highlight of our trip.
CONAN town is actually Hokuei, a small coastal town in Tottori Prefecture. Hokuei is the birth place of the author of Detective Conan, Gosho Aoyama. The town is littered with monuments paying tribute to the manga/anime. If you’re arriving by train, you’ll be using CONAN STATION, a train station completely illustrated with characters from the beloved manga. Don’t forget to check out Conan’s House, Beika shopping Street, and the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory.
To get to this cool, amazing town, follow the steps below. but before that, here’s a quick summary:
If you’re already in Tottori City, you only need to take the train to Conan Town.
If you’re coming from Osaka City Center, you need to take the bus to Tottori City first then transfer to the train to Conan Town.
If you’re coming from Kansai Airport, your journey has three legs: bus to Osaka City Air Terminal, where you’ll take another bus to Tottori, where you’ll board the train to Conan Town.
You’ll find a more detailed step-by-step guide below.

Before we share the final leg of the journey, we need to explain some very importaNT -dingen. Conan Town heeft zijn eigen treinen met een Conan-thema en het station met Conan-thema. De officiële naam van het treinstation is Yura Station, dus als u Hyperdia gebruikt, is dat de naam die u moet invoeren.
De treinen worden volledig geïllustreerd met personages uit de geliefde manga, dus probeer er een te vangen om naar Conan Station te komen (Yura Station).
Reistijd: ongeveer 1 uur.
Tarief: ¥ 840.
Je weet dat je aan de goede stop bent als je veel conan -illustraties van de personages ziet. Bij het verlaten van Conan/Yura -station wordt u begroet door een gigantisch standbeeld van Conan!
Vanaf hier zijn de meeste belangrijkste aandachtspunten te voet toegankelijk.
Welkom in Conan Town!
Kansai Airport naar Conan Town per trein
Normaal gesproken is de bus de goedkoopste optie. Maar als u meerdere steden in Japan bezoekt en u naar Tottori reist vanuit Osaka met een JR -pas, ga dan door en gebruik het.
U kunt een van de verschillende routes van Kansai Airport of Osaka City Center naar Tottori nemen, maar deze is de meest handige (d.w.z. met de minste transfers).
Neem op Kansai Airport de beperkte express Haruka-trein naar het station van Shin-Osaka of de JR Kansai Airport snelle service naar het station van Osaka.
Neem de Limited Express Super Hakuto -trein naar Tottori Station.
Breng over naar een andere trein naar het station van Yura.
Reistijd: meestal meer dan 3 uur, exclusief wachttijden.
Zonder de JR -pas is het nemen van de trein erg duur. Het tarief van alleen de luchthaven naar Tottori is ¥ 5190 plus zitkosten van ¥ 970 (Haruka) en ongeveer ¥ 3000 (Hakuto).
Maar als u van plan bent om toch een JR -pas te kopen, is dit absoluut de beste keuze omdat u geen geld meer hoeft te vergroten. De hele reis zal worden bedekt door de pas.
