A currency exchange service is NOT available at Osaka Itami Airport. Therefore, you should obtain cash in Japanese Yen at or before arriving at Narita Airport or Fukuoka Airport.

If you do not have Japanese Yen at this time, the last resort is to use an ATM card to get some cash. The ATM operated by VISA is located at the center of the 2nd floor of the North Terminal building, about 20m to the left from the Information Counter. The ATM accepts VISA, MasterCard, Cirrus, PLUS and Diners Club, but NOT American Express. The machine is available from 6AM until 9PM every day. You can only get cash in the multiples of 10,000 Yen.

5.1 Purchase a Rainbow Card

We strongly recommend you purchase a prepaid card called a "Rainbow Card". With this, you do not have to purchase a ticket every time you get on the subway. Also, you do not need to find out how much it will cost to the destination. (Note that not all the maps at the stations have English.) Just insert the card every time you go through a gate, and the fare will be subtracted from your card automatically. You can use this card also for other train systems, except for JR and Kintetsu.

Rainbow cards are available at subway stations. At a light blue ticket vending machine, enter the amount you want (or more), press "Rainbow Card" button with an orange sign, and press the button showing the amount you want to purchase. The cards are available for 1000 Yen, 2000 Yen, 3000 Yen and 5000 Yen.

Commuting between the hotel and the i-House for 7 days alone will cost 3220 Yen.
