Kansai International Airport is used by travelers to the Kansai area, including Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, and Nara. Travelers want to be as comfortable as possible when walking with large luggage during their trip.   Therefore, we will explain the recommended convenient way to get from Kansai International Airport to Umeda, the center of Osaka. I wish everyone visiting Japan a good start to their trip! First, there are two main ways to travel from Kansai International Airport to Umeda, Osaka.   ・Train ・Airport Limousine Bus   There are also cabs, but we do not recommend them here because cabs in Japan are expensive and not recommended.   As for traveling by train, the limited express Haruka will stop in the Osaka-Umeda area on the JR line starting in the spring of 2023, making it even more convenient.   So here is a comparison of JR Rapid Train, Limited Express Haruka, and Airport Limousine Bus.   JR Rapid train JR Limited Express Haruka Airport Limousine Bus Number of daytime operations 3-5 runs per hour 1-2 runs per hour 3-4 runs per hour Fares Adults 1,210 yen Adults 2,410 yen Adults 1,600 yen Transfer No transfers No transfers No transfers Required Time 67 minutes 47 minutes Approximately 60 minutes from Terminal 1, 75 minutes from Terminal 2 Operation Time Between 5:00 to 6:00～ Between 23:00 to 24:00 Between 6:00 to 7:00～ Between 21:00 to 22:00 Between 6:00 to 7:00～ Between 23:00 to 24:00 Advantages ・Fares are cheap ・Available from early morning ・Minimum travel time ・Seats are available ・The bus stop is right in front of the arrival lobby, so less travel is required Disadvantage ・You may not be able to sit in a seat ・If you use Terminal 2, it’s a hassle to move around ・Fares are expensive ・Train service is infrequent. ・If you use Terminal 2, it’s a hassle to move around ・Arrival time may be delayed *Fares are as of April 26, 2023.   Those who use Terminal 2 should be careful. If you wish to travel to Osaka Umeda by train, you will need to take a connecting bus running through the airport from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. The airport limousine bus also has a stop at Terminal 2, making it possible to smoothly travel to Osaka Umeda. *However, airport limousine buses depart only from Terminal 1 during early morning hours. All modes of transportation have their advantages and disadvantages, but the airport limousine bus is particularly recommended for travel from Kansai International Airport to Umeda, Osaka.   The reasons are, ・The terminal is located right in front of the arrival lobby, making it easy to get around. ・Sufficient number of buses. ・Fares are cheaper than the Limited Express Haruka. ・The capacity is fixed, so you can sit in a seat. ・It is comfortable to leave large luggage in the trunk. ・There are two stops in Osaka-Umeda, so you can choose the one closer to your destination. etc.   Anyway, the airport limousine bus is an easy, comfortable, and convenient way to get around. Some may be concerned about traveling by bus, where arrival times are unpredictable due to traffic congestion.   However, all airport limousine buses are equipped with GPS to monitor vehicle operation in real time. At the bus stop, you can confirm the approximate arrival time in advance by checking the latest information on the bus service status. Now that you know the advantages of using an airport limousine bus, you may be a bit nervous about getting around on a bus in Japan, a country you are not accustomed to. The following is a detailed explanation of how to use the airport limousine bus, from boarding to ticket purchase and getting off. Kansai International Airport has two terminals.

As you exit the Arrival Lobby on the 1st floor, you will see a bus stop in front of you. Buses heading to Osaka Umeda are at platform 1. Terminal 2 itself is small, so you should be able to easily find the bus stop as soon as you step outside.   Note for those using Terminal 2! There is no airport limousine bus service in Terminal 2 during the early morning hours (from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM). You must take the airport’s connecting bus to Terminal 1 and board from the airport limousine bus stop at Terminal 1. There is an automatic ticket vending machine right next to the boarding gate.   Airport limousine buses connecting Kansai International Airport and Osaka Umeda do not require reservations; tickets are purchased from a ticket vending machine on the day of boarding.
