[編集]
関西国際空港は1994年に大阪国際空港(別名:伊丹空港)の騒音問題を解決するために大阪市から南西に約40km離れた大阪湾上の人工島に開港しました。これは世界で最もお金のかかった土木プロジェクトの1つと考えられています。大阪湾の軟弱な地盤により空港が予想よりもはるかに早く自重で水中に沈んでしまったため、空港の建設から島の要塞化までに200億ドル以上が費やされたと推定されています。
成田国際空港とは異なり、関空は日本全国への国内線接続がかなり充実しているため、乗り継ぎに便利です。ただし、国内線を利用して目的地が関西地方の場合は、関空よりも関西地方の中心部にある伊丹空港または神戸空港の空港に飛ぶ方が合理的でしょう。
メインターミナルである第一ターミナルは、イタリア人のスター建築家であるレンゾ・ピアノによって設計されました。この建物は端から端まで1.7kmで、世界一長い建物と言われています。国際線の場合、到着は1階、出発は4階です。国内線は2階で取り扱います。
第二ターミナルは格安航空会社(LCC)向けに設計されたターミナルで、搭乗橋やエアコンはありません。雨が降った場合、乗客は飛行機まで歩くために傘を貸し出されます。ほとんどのLCCは、コストがかかるにもかかわらず、第一ターミナルにとどまることを好み、テナントはピーチ・アビエーションと春秋航空のみとなっています。
エアロプラザは第一ターミナルの向かいにあり、レストラン、ショップ、ホテル(ホテル日航関西空港) があり、保安検査前の暇つぶしに最適な場所です。

鉄道で
[編集]大阪と京都に行く最も現実的な手段は電車です。すべての列車は空港の到着ホールの向かいにある関西空港駅から出発します。2階には明確にマークされた通路があります。ICOCAやPiTaPaなどのICカードは空港への往復旅行に便利で、チケット売り場で購入したり返却したりできます。合計 4 つのサービスを運営する2社から選ぶことができます:
特急はるか
[編集]
JR西日本の特急はるかは空港から30~60分間隔で運行しています。主要駅は天王寺(30分, ¥1740)、大阪(45分, ¥2200)、新大阪(50分, ¥2380)、京都(75分, ¥2900)です。記載の運賃は普通車自由席の運賃です。
はるかは京都へ行くのに最も楽で早い交通手段で、新大阪で新幹線に接続できます。はるかが2023年3月に大阪駅の新しい地下ホームでの運行を開始したことで、京都や神戸方面へのJR線へのアクセスが容易になりました。
はるかにはジャパン・レール・パスが利用可能です。鉄道パス引換券は、JRの窓口でパスに引き換えることができます。はるかへの乗車を可能な近距離パスや地域パスもあります。例えば、関西およびその近郊のJR通勤電車がすべて乗車でき、さらにはるかの自由席の利用も可能な関西エリアパスなどがあります。1日乗車券は¥2400で、はるかと併用すると、京都、米原、神戸や姫路などの都市に安くアクセスできます。
JR西日本は外国人観光客向けの割引チケットのICOCA & Harukaを販売しています。これは、JR線およびエリア内のほとんどの公共交通機関で使用できる¥2000分のICOCA(デポジット¥500含む)と、JR在来線が運行する以下の4つのゾーンのいずれかへ接続する「はるか」の自由席を含む片道「オープン」乗車券で構成されています。:大阪 (¥3100-3300)や京都 (¥3600)、神戸 (¥3500)、奈良 (¥3400)。関西空港への往復が14日以内であれば往復割引が適用されます。
JRの急行
[編集]The JR Rapid Service, officially the kankū-kaisoku (関空快速), runs along the same tracks to Tennoji (50 min, ¥1080), but then diverges along the Osaka Loop Line to Osaka station/Umeda (70 min, ¥1210) and terminus Kyobashi (80 min, ¥1210). All seats are non-reserved and trains depart every 20 minutes; the trains can get crowded at rush hour.
The Rapid Service is convenient for connections onward towards Kobe or Kyoto; change trains at Osaka station. An advantage of the Rapid Service over the Haruka at Osaka station is that the Rapid stops at the overground Osaka Loop Line platforms, while the Haruka stops at platforms underground. Unlike the Haruka, however, the Rapid does not go to any Shinkansen stations; to get to Shin-Osaka from the Rapid, you must transfer at Osaka to a local or rapid train bound for Kyoto.
If heading on the rapid service from Osaka to Kansai Airport, be sure to board one of the first four cars of the train. At Hineno station, the train will split with the front four cars heading to the airport and the last four heading to Wakayama.
南海ラピート
[編集]The Nankai rapi:t is an all-reserved train service that runs to Namba station in Osaka in around 35-40 minutes. Trains run every half hour throughout the day (on weekdays, service is hourly in the mornings until 09:00). All services to Namba call at Tengachaya (change to the subway) and Shin-Imamiya (change to the JR, subway and Hankai tram lines), with a few additional stops depending on the type of run. The fare is ¥1450 yen each way for regular seats, and ¥1660 for premium "super seats". Nankai sells advance tickets on its website for a discount.
The rapi:t and Rapid Service are the recommended means of going to central Osaka.
南海空港急行
[編集]Nankai Airport Express trains, called the kūkō-kyūkō (空港急行) in Japanese, run along the same tracks to the same destination, but like their JR counterparts stop more often and may get crowded. The trip to Namba takes 45 min and costs ¥930, making this the cheapest of the four options, unless your final destination is a JR station in Osaka (e.g. Universal City). If you are considering a multi-day Kansai rail pass, consider this before buying your ticket, as it includes transport on the Nankai Airport Express (it was previously known as "rapid", do not confuse it with more expensive rapi:t). You can buy multi-day Kansai rail passes at the information desk at the airport.
Nankai offers discounted tickets traveling between Kansai Airport and the Kansai region's major cities.
- To Osaka, the Kanku Chikatoku Ticket (¥1020) includes travel on the Nankai Rapid Service to Namba station, and from there to any station in the entire Osaka Subway system. The Yokoso! Osaka Ticket (¥1580) covers a trip on the Nankai Rapid Service to Namba and also includes a one-day unlimited pass for Osaka city subways and buses to be used the same day or the next day.
- To Kobe, the Kobe Access Ticket (¥1150) includes travel on the Nankai Rapid Service to Namba station, and from there to any station on the Hanshin Railway as far as Sannomiya and Motomachi.
- To Kyoto, the Kyoto Access Ticket (¥1250) includes travel on the Nankai Rapid Service to Tengachaya station. From there you are permitted to transfer to the Osaka Subway Sakaisuji Line; these trains continue on to the Hankyu Railway. A second change of trains at Awaji will allow you to continue on to central Kyoto on the Hankyu Main Line. Using this ticket you can reach Karasuma and Kawaramachi stations in approximately 1 hr 45 min.
- To Nara, the Nara Access Ticket (¥1250 each way) includes travel on the Nankai Rapid Service to Namba station, and from there to Nara on the Kintetsu Railway. This ticket can only be purchased at Kansai Airport.
バスで
[編集]Airport Limousine buses leave for various destinations throughout Kansai. Buses leave from the 1st floor of Terminal 1, directly outside the arrivals hall, with select buses also leaving from Terminal 2. The cost is comparable to or slightly higher than the train, but some buses go directly to major hotels.
Some of the main destinations in the area include:
- Wakayama (40 min, ¥1200)
- Osaka City Air Terminal (OCAT) in Namba (50 min, ¥1100)
- Hotel New Hankyu and Herbis Osaka, near Umeda and JR Osaka stations (1 hr, ¥1600)
- Kyoto Station (1 hr 30 min, ¥2800)
- Kobe Sannomiya (1 hr 5 min, ¥2000)
The bus is also the only practical option for connecting to Osaka's Itami Airport for domestic flights (1 hr 45 min, ¥1950).
フェリーで
[編集]The Bay Shuttle is a high-speed ferry service that runs to and from Kobe Airport. Ferries run once per hour for most of the day and make the run in 31 minutes. A free bus at Kansai Airport shuttles passengers between the two terminals and the boat pier. The regular fare is ¥1880, but foreign tourists can ride for just ¥500 each way by presenting their passport. Via the ferry, shuttle bus and the Port Liner AGT line, Sannomiya (central Kobe) can be reached in about one hour; the fare for the Port Liner train is included with the ferry ticket.
タクシーで
[編集]Flat-fare taxis to Osaka city depart from designated taxi ranks and cost ¥13000-17000. Expect a taxi ride to Kyoto to cost in the range of ¥32000. Consider getting into the cities by public transport (i.e. train, limousine bus), then take a taxi to your destination.
