Kansai International services the cities of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto and is located 24 miles south of the city of Osaka.

Travelling from the Airport

Both airports are surprisingly well-connected, likely because of their lengthy distance from major cities. At Narita International, bus and train tickets are purchased at special counters in the airport. Buses can be found on level 4 of Terminal 1 and on level 3 of Terminal 2. There is a railway station at each of the two terminals with routes to Tokyo. Travellers out of Kansai International are greeted with multiple options, including buses, rails, and taxis. For those planning to take the rail, they must choose between the JR Line and Nankai Line. You must avoid taxis, as fares at both airports are incredibly expensive.
