Kintetsu Meihan Limited Expresses
The Kinki-Nippon Railway, more familiarly known as Kintetsu operates Limited Express services between Nagoya and Ōsaka, competeing directly with JR Tōkai's Tōkaido Shinkansen between the two large urban areas. While not having the same speed, Kintetu's route is more convenient for passengers departing/arriving in the southern area of Central Ōsaka, with Ltd Expresses terminating at Nanba.
