costco by train

for the zillions of lost souls who are looking for costco in the kansai region, you need to find the amagasaki station. How do I find that? How much does it cost? That information is here: http://grace.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hyperd01.cgi

I don't know if there is only one in kansai. But if you live in Osaka it is the place to go. Once you get to the Amagasaki station, there is a bus that comes around every hour on the hour(i think). The bus is free and its a short bus! Maybe its best to ask the driver, I don't want to send you off on the wrong bus. If your new to Japan and unsure of how to ask or you don't speak Japanese just look confused, point at the bus and say "costco?" Easy. Well anyway, once your at the amagasaki station you can figure it out for yourself. Then when your leaving, catch the same bus. It just goes in a loop and I believe the only stops are at the station and at costco (costco is near a big shopping complex).

Costco here has basically the same stuff as it does in the states. same pizza and hot dogs. same choco muffins and croissants. NO BURRITOS. They do deliver for Y500 a box...again don't quote me on that. Well good luck in your journey. If you are a guy who will be travelling by train and eats a lot of food, I suggest a camping backpack. Carrying boxes sucks. Also, you need the membership card but i am sure you already knew that. one last thing. if you have one of those "japanese fridges" make sure you don't buy too much stufffor it.
