The walk is available as long as trains run. The final trains and subway are about 12am. No problem at 22.

It is just next to Namba station, you can ask the local people when you arrived for a clearer direction. But taking subway/train direct from the airport to Namba Walk is easier.

I'm sorry. Although I love Nan-ba,I know very little about the hotels or other facilities for handicapped people. May be you should stay at classic styled Ryokan in southern Ue-honmach-6cro-me. Or North-westOf Kobe(Hanshin)Shin-kaich station;which is convenient both Hanku&Hanshin Railway.ther is a personal managed hotel and very near from Hyogo Ward police station. Other selection may be "Hotel Max.Chain.in Minatogawa Lib max Kobe,Escal Kobe. I think too large hotels chains can't correspond enough. Please ask in very slow English "your hotel have enough barrier free system? To the hotel crews. I don't remember other solutions anything others. Nan-ba has too many hotels for visitors alone. So you should avoid to stay this region If you aren't alone.

If you go to Nara from Namba、It's quite easy by taking the Express or Rapid Express of Kintetsu Railway.(fare only,express fee isn't needed.) Each of railway service costs under 40minutes. On the other hand, JR line is inconvenient except if you'll get to Hou-Ryuu-Ji-Temple or Iga -Ueno-Nin-Ja. Iga is the part of Mie prefecture,which is the district of To-Kai,So not far from Central Airport. or Nagoya. If you'll go to Kyoto,Please take the subway for Kita-Senri or Takatsuki-city、and transfer at Awaji、whose opposite lane's train for Kawaramachi:Get off at Sai-In-Shi-Jou.Three stations behind of Destination:Gion:Kinkaku-Ji Temple and Kitano-Tenman-guu-Shrine and Nijou-Jou(castle)…these are nearest. Arashiyama Line is the branch from Katura Station. If you want to take Keihan Railway,You should transfer at Kitahama.which is famous for financial town. Keihan-Railway may be better than Hankyu if you'll go to Uji (Be famous for Japanene green tea) or South-Eastern Kyoto Prefecture.
