How to get to Osaka

A typically recommended way to get to Osaka is to arrive at Kansai International Airport (KIX) by plane, which is one of major international airports in Japan and is located in Osaka. KIX provides direct services to more than 80 cities and 20 countries/regions throughout the world, including many cities in Japan. The airport, which acts as an Asian hub and serves a large number of flights to the Asia-Pacific region, is conveniently located within 30 minutes by train to and from downtown Osaka.
