 It is about 2 hours 30 minutes from Tokyo Station to
Shin Osaka Station on the JR Tokaido Shinkansen Line.
There are many limousine buses running between the
airport and various parts of Osaka. Buses run to/from
Shin-Osaka Station ever 15 minutes from 8am to 9:30pm
and cost about 500 yen. The trip takes about 25 minutes.
Buses run about the same frequency from Osaka and Namba
stations in about 30 minutes.
There are many routes between Kansai International
Airport and Osaka.
Limousine buses leave from most major stations and the
journeys take about 50 minutes depending on traffic
conditions.
By train, the fastest way to the airport is
the private Nankai express, which departs from Namba
Station on the Mido-suji subway line. It takes 30
minutes. The limited airport express operates between
the airport and many main stations. You can also take a
ferry from Osaka Tempozan Harbor Village in about 35
minutes.
By Train
Osaka is the center of the rail network that spreads
across the Kansai region. Kobe is a mere 30 minutes away
and Kyoto and Nara are each about 45 minutes from Osaka.
To get to Kyoto
from Osaka, the quickest route other than the Shinkansen
is with the private Hankyu line, which departs from
Umeda station. It takes around 40 minutes by limited
express.
By Bus
Traveling by bus in Osaka is not nearly as easy to
use as the rail network. You are better off taking a
train, but bus maps are available from the tourist
offices.
