Getting here
From Osaka (Itami) Airport
Osaka Monorail to Hotarugaike (about 3 minutes, one stop), change to the Hankyu Takarazuka Line and ride one stop to Toyonaka.
From Toyonaka Station
A one-minute walk into Tamaicho, the street of restaurants in front of the station. Look for the red wall and the rows of white lanterns.
Booking
Walk-ins are welcome when seats are free. Fridays, Saturdays and the December party season get busy, so booking is safer.
