use JR.rail pass

How to get here from Osaka......4 choices

1) if you use your rail pass you will have to go to Okayama, change

here and go to Takamatsu, change again to Tokushima, change again and

a train to Kannora...... this is a major pain in the arse and if you

don't get your transfers on time it will take you nearly 8 hours

sometimes more to get here but you can use your pass and it won't

cost you any extra..... there aren't many trains from Tokushima to

here, times are 9.47 10.38 12.30 2.54 3.05

5.25 7.11

2) A Highway bus from Osaka to Anan \4000 one way \7200 return,

  Osaka to Tokushima \3600 one

way and \6480 return

  then a train from these stations to here Kannora

3) ....you can catch a train from JR Osaka station to JR Maiko

station then get a highway bus from here to Anan this will cost \3300

one way..this bus takes about 2 hours (by train to here it might take

more than 5 hours) then you can get a JR train from Anan to here.

all the trains from Tokushima and Anan you need to change at Kaifu

station (sometimes Mugi)

4) last but not least because this is by far the easiest but sadly

the most expensive is a bus from Herbis Osaka (the same bus goes

from near Nankai Namba stn) you can see this info on the

website....it is direct, no changes and takes 5 hours........\5000

one way \9000 return....you need a reservation (if you want to do

this I can reserve it for you)
