Transportation to Airport from Osaka City Center
Osaka Intl. Airport
If you want to get to Kansai International Airport by means of public transportation, you can take advantage of bus and train options. In addition, you can also benefit from car rental and taxi options. Since the airport was built on an artificial island, it is not yet possible to reach the airport by metro, which provides nearly the whole urban transportation. It takes about 60 minutes to get to the airport by any means of transportation from the city center.
Bus
You can reach the airport by choosing from the bus lines 2,3,5,7 and 11 departing from different parts in the city center. One-way ticket costs 1.500 Japanese Yen.
Train
You can reach the airport very easily by the train that you can take at Namba Railway Station, which is located in the city center. This is also the cheapest way of transportation in the city. Ticket price is 920 Japanese Yen. If you are traveling from a different city by train, you can also benefit from the transfer option to reach the airport.
Shuttle Services
Shuttle services are provided by private companies based on “door to door” service principle. Two different companies provide shuttle service and you need to make a reservation 2 days in advance to take the advantage of this service from both companies. The price you need to pay ranges from 2.000 to 4.000 Japanese Yen per passenger for one-way journey. If you want to benefit from this service on your return journey from the city center to the airport, you can make a reservation before you leave the airport upon your arrival, or you can also ask your hotel to make a reservation for you.
Limousine Bus
If you prefer a more comfortable transportation option, you can rent limousine buses to reach the airport from the central points in Kinki and Shikoku areas. Your hotel can help you about making a reservation for this luxury service.
Hotel Shuttle Services
Although there are a large number of hotels in Osaka, the number of the hotels offering airport shuttle service is very few. You can contact your hotel in advance to find out if they provide this quite comfortable transportation option. Even if your hotel does not offer airport shuttle service, they can help you find some alternatives for transportation to the airport.
Taxi
You can easily get a taxi in the city center, as well as you can ask your hotel to arrange a taxi for you. You can reach the airport very comfortably by taxi in about one hour. The taxi fare costs about 15.000 Japanese Yen. If you want to get a taxi on your own, please keep in mind that the taxi is available if the red light on its windscreen is on.
Rent a car
Although renting a car is not a very popular option for urban transportation in Osaka, you can rent a car if you want to get to the airport by a comfortable means of transportation. You may need to rent a car with a driver since it will be a one-way journey and you will certainly need an international driver's license. The offices of car rental companies are generally located at train stations. Your hotel can also help you with this.

Kansai Intl. Airport
Passengers who want to reach Kansai International Airport, 50 kilometers away from Osaka, one of the largest and most developed cities in Japan, can evaluate alternative options such as buses, rental cars, ferries and taxis. Taxis are one of the fastest and easy-to-use means, but they can be costly because the airport is far from many centers.

The biggest disadvantage of buses is that they do not provide the comfort and convenience as the vehicles that provide door-to-door service such as taxi and shuttle services. The cost you will pay for a taxi is high because the airport is located away from city centers. For this reason you can choose buses to travel at an appropriate cost.
Train
From Osaka and many places around the airport, you can travel by train to the airport. It is an economical and easy option to get to the airport by train because of the train station in Terminal 1.

Shuttle

If you are staying in a city center hotel, you can get help from hotel staff to find a suitable service.

If you are coming to the airport from Universal Studios, you can still use the taxi or limousine services. The journey from here takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Those arriving from the Nara side pay 25.000 Yen for a 90-minute trip. Those arriving from Shia need to pay more than 50.000 Yen. If you are coming from Kyoto to the airport, you will have to pay an average fare of 32.000 Yen for a 2 hours journey.

If you have a limited budget for transportation, you should definitely talk to the taxi driver before boarding and try to make your choice by learning the average fare you would pay. Only in this way you can complete your journey without any surprises about the price.
