In November 2006, SIBC moved to a new location. If you were familar with the old SIBC, please follow the simple map (here) to find our new location (we're just two blocks away!). If you are visiting SIBC for the very first time, then please follow the directions below for how to find us from the various train lines in Sakai.


From Nankai Main Line / Airport Line
(from Namba, Shinimamiya, Izumiotsu, Kishiwada etc...)

Take a train to Sakai Station. This is an express station so any train will be all right. When you arrive at the platform at Sakai Station follow the signs to the South Exit. Exit the station and follow the directions on the MAP.


From JR Hanwa Line
(from Tennoji, Mikunigaoka, Ootori, etc...)

Take a train to Mikunigaoka Station. Upon arrival, go up the stairs but DO NOT exit the station. Instead, go through the ticket gates on the right that leads to the Nankai portion of the station. Once in the Nankai station, cross under the tracks and exit from the west exit.

* Once out of the station, cross the street at the signal directly in front of the station. Walk to your left a couple of meters and you will see a small sign for the bus stop. It is across from the SBS motorcycle shop. The name of the stop is Mikunigaokaekimae. Take bus #31 or #32 and get off the bus at the Kawajiri bus stop. This should take 5-7 minutes and cost 230 yen. The bus stop is directly in front of our building (SHIN-NIKKEN) so you should see our sign on the sidewalk. We are on the third floor. If you miss the Kawajiri stop, the bus will drop you off at the Nankai bus terminal (see MAP). You can walk back to the church from there. If you have any problems, give us a call.


From Nankai Koya Line
(from Semboku, Nakamozu, Kawachinagano, etc...)
