So I'm living in Osaka for a couple of months. Learning the transportation system is hard. I have a question though. Do any of you guys know how to get to Doyama from  Hirakata? I'm going to Kansai Gaidai, and i hve no idea what transportation to take to get to this place.

This seems like a bit of a silly question, but I had a question about Himeji Station. I want to stop there on my way up to Osaka and spend a half-day, but I wanted to know if there are lockers I can use at the station or nearby. I'll have my little suitcase with me and really don't feel like dragging it around everywhere if it can be helped.

Thank

So I will by flying off to Tokyo this coming Thursday and I've been trying to map out my route from Narita Airport to my hostel in Katamachi/Shinjuku. So naturally I'm planning to use the Narita Express from Terminal 1 to Shinjuku.
