The hotel is located fairly close to Nanba, within walking distance. I don't expect a direct train to the hotel, just a sensible routing into the city. And Osaka's trains don't give me that from KIX.

Passengers do not have to change trains twice. There are more railway companies than JR Rail.Take the Nankai railway...direct service from KIX to Namba. Fastest train is 37 minutes, direct.

If you are using Hyperdia to plan routes, use Kansai Airport as departure and NAMBA(NANKAI) as destination.

Problem solved.
