Overview
Beneath the intersection of Nagahori-dori and Sakaisuji, Nagahoribashi Station serves Minamisenba and the eastern side of Shinsaibashi in central Osaka. It connects Osaka Metro's north-south Sakaisuji Line with the east-west Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line.
Crysta Nagahori provides an underground walking route to Shinsaibashi Station, so you can reach the Midosuji Line without taking a one-stop subway ride between the two stations. Nagahoribashi may be closer to hotels on the eastern side of the district, even when their addresses or names say Shinsaibashi. The two stations serve different parts of the same shopping and hotel area.
Lines and connections
Nagahoribashi is K16 on the Sakaisuji Line. Nippombashi Station is one stop south for Kuromon Market and connections to the Sennichimae Line. Southbound trains continue to Tengachaya, where Nankai services provide the onward route to Kansai Airport.
Northbound Sakaisuji trains serve Kitahama and Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome, with some continuing onto Hankyu lines. If you're traveling toward Kyoto, check the train's destination and whether a change is required, since not every northbound service follows the same route.
On the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line, Nagahoribashi is N16. Shinsaibashi is one stop west on trains toward Taisho. In the opposite direction, trains bound for Kadoma-minami reach Morinomiya Station in four stops for Osaka Castle Park. The castle tower requires a further walk through the park and isn't beside the subway exit.
For Shinkansen travel, change at Shinsaibashi to the Midosuji Line for Shin-Osaka Station. The same northbound route also serves Umeda. Nagahoribashi has neither Shinkansen platforms nor a direct train to Shin-Osaka.
Airport access
For Kansai Airport, take the Sakaisuji Line south to Tengachaya and change to a Nankai airport train. Both the Airport Express and limited express Rapi:t stop there. The Airport Express uses the ordinary fare, while Rapi:t requires an additional limited-express ticket.
Changing at Tengachaya avoids a detour through Namba. Allow time to transfer between Osaka Metro and Nankai when planning your departure.
Station area
Crysta Nagahori extends west from Nagahoribashi through Shinsaibashi to Yotsubashi. The underground arcade is about 730 meters long in total, with shops and restaurants along the route. You can walk under cover toward Shinsaibashi's shopping streets instead of taking the subway for one stop.
Above ground, Minamisenba lies north of Nagahori-dori. Exit 1 serves its eastern blocks, while Exit 2-B opens toward Minamisenba 2- and 3-chome. South of the road, Exits 5-A and 7 lead toward the eastern Shinsaibashi hotel and restaurant streets. Check which side of the crossing your destination is on before heading upstairs.
What's nearby
Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street lies west of Nagahoribashi, near Shinsaibashi Station. From its northern end, you can continue south toward Dotonbori and its canal-side restaurants and illuminated signs.
Closer to Nagahoribashi, Crysta Nagahori has cafes and places to eat, including restaurants serving okonomiyaki and fried skewers. Travelodge Osaka Shinsaibashi is about three to five minutes on foot from Nagahoribashi.
Good to know
For a step-free route, follow the elevator signs rather than using the nearest numbered exit. From the Sakaisuji Line platforms, the route passes through the central ticket gate and follows a ramp into Crysta Nagahori, where an elevator reaches street level. From the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line, the step-free route runs through the north ticket gate to the arcade's elevator. Elevators also connect the two subway lines.
