Getting around Osaka · airport and transport choices
Arriving in Osaka: choose the right airport and transport information
Start with the airport code and terminal on your flight booking. Separate KIX from ITM, then choose an official entry for airport access, city subway travel or a journey along a railway line.
Choose information for this journey ↓Confirm your starting point, then check the travel day
Identify the airport and station
Check the airport code and date on your booking. KIX is Kansai International Airport; ITM is Osaka International Airport (Itami). For train journeys, use the full departure and arrival station names rather than just “Umeda” or “Osaka”.
Open information from the operator responsible for that leg
Use the airport access page to choose a mode of transport. Continue to the operator to check stations, date, direction, transfers and ticket conditions. This page does not calculate the fastest or cheapest route across operators.
Check operations and deadlines on the day
A timetable does not guarantee that services are running as planned. Check the relevant operator and station displays. Allow separately for walking, transfers and airline check-in and boarding deadlines.
