Airport - Nara does not have its own airport, so most visitors arrive via Kansai International Airport(IATA: KIX, ICAO: RJBB), or Osaka's Itami Airport(IATA: ITM, ICAO: RJOO). From Kansai Airport, Airport Limousine buses run to the two Nara train stations every hour. More frequent service is available by rail. It's cheaper to take the Nankai Railway's Kuko-Kyuko express train to Shin-Imamiya, and then take the JR Yamatoji line from there. The fastest route from Osaka is to take the private Kintetsu Nara Line from Namba station.
Shopping - Higashimuki Shopping Street: a covered shopping arcade of about 250m stretching south from Kintetsu Nara Station, where many souvenir shops as well as restaurants can be found. Mochiidono Shopping Street: another covered arcade further into south, connecting from Higashimuki Shopping Street, is the main street leading to the center of Naramachi. Sanjo-dori Avenue, most shops are located within the apporx. Most of the major banks are found on this Avenue, too.
