Osaka
From Mie Guidebook
Transport
Getting to Osaka by train is easy, with Kintetsu providing everything from Limited Express to Local trains. There are direct trains from Toba, Ise, Matsusaka and Nabari, and for those coming from other areas of Mie, you'll probably have to change at Ise-Nakagawa station (or Iga-Kanbe if you are coming from Iga). Kintetsu trains run to Kintetsu-Namba station, though some stop 2 stops earlier at Uehonmachi. If you want to link up with the JR Osaka Loop Line, then you'll want to get off at Tsuruhashi station and go up the stairs from the Kintetsu platform to the JR platform.
Once in Osaka, the Osaka Loop Line and the Subway can get you to pretty much anywhere you want to go.
