Kansai Airport

Kansai International Airport (KIX) is Japan's second most important international airport. Located on a man made island about 50 km south of Osaka, Kansai Airport was opened in 1994, taking over all international and some of the domestic air traffic formerly handled by Osaka's Itami Airport.

Kansai Airport has only one terminal building. Various train and bus lines connect the airport with the nearby cities of Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and surroundings.
