Ok I'm not the resident Osaka drift specialist, but I may be able to help (not that it's recommended).

Where are you staying? Because you're going to have to take the Kintetsu Osaka line from Tsuruhashi Station. Tsuruhashi is on the Osaka loop line so it's easily accessable.

So Umeda (loop line) -> Tsuruhashi (go to Kintetsu Osaka line platform) -> Nabori Station.

Now, as far as I know Nabori Station is closest to Meihan Sportsland, but it's waaaay in the country and you'll have to get a bus or cab to the circuit. I have no idea about the bus, but it's slow travel on tiny country roads out there from what I remember around Nabori.

Ok, having said all that, you could twist my arm and get me to drive you out there Bear in mind gas costs a metric ****load and theres tolls to pay too.

So bottom line is, pay a fair bit to go by car but get there and leave at your leisure/not worry about the time or, save money but waste time/risk losing your way on PT.

hey

thanks for your reply, we are staying at hotel kinki which is like 5 min walk from jr osaka station and hankyu umeda station

you got me abit confused there i was trying to find where Nabori Station was but there is no Nabori, only Nabari

i thought that Murouguchi Station would be close and easy access to Meihan Sportsland, is there many taxi around there that would be able to take us from the station to the circuit and back?

theres going to be 6 of us so if you would like to drive us all that would be sweet as hahahaha of course we pay for petrol and toll roads

would be great to drive there but unfortunatelly our means for getting around japan is by public transport, because we didnt plan to drive over there

Nabari -> typo... glad you could figure it out

I thought so too, I just thought the chances of getting a taxi where much greater from Nabari... it's up to you.

My car only fits 4 including driver. Sould've asked how big your party was

Sounds like you know the way the PT system works, so there's no problem with that then? Just get to whichever station you think is easiest (Muroguchi etc) and hail a taxi. Whether there are taxis there or not is another thing entirely... I'm sure the front desk at the hotel could help you out.

What do yo mean by PT system, sorry

looking at google maps your right nabori looks like a bigger place then Muroguchi
