Departure airport Osaka KIX or ITM:
On Sunday morning we will wake up in Kyoto which is an adjoining city to Osaka approximately one hour away by train or bus.
Generally speaking, there are good flights out of Osaka to major cities around the world. Osaka is the second biggest city in Japan. If there are no good direct flights home, you can fly from Osaka KIX to Tokyo which is approximately a one-hour flight, and catch your departing flight home out of Tokyo.
The bus or train from our hotel in Kyoto to KIX airport is approximately 90 minutes and the cost is approximately $30.
Special note: ITM Itami airport is a smaller domestic airport located in Osaka. ITM is a domestic airport only and is a little closer to Kyoto than KIX, only 60 minutes. When searching for your return flight some of the search engines might show that ITM is your best option which will connect you with a short flight to Tokyo at either at Haneda or Narita airport for your return flight home.
Never worry, both airports are easily accessible from the train station right by our hotel in Kyoto, and there’s a direct bus or train to either airport in Osaka.
