Getting to & around Kyoto
No airport in Kyoto. Fly into Kansai (KIX) or Osaka Itami (ITM) – both about 1-1.5 hours out. Kansai gets most international flights; Itami is smaller and closer (good for local flights). Take the Haruka Express train to Kyoto Station for speed, or grab a cheaper highway bus.
Late arrival? A few airport hotels near Kansai (KIX) run shuttles, but it’s worth pushing to the Kyoto Station area.
Hotel Name | Estimated Price | Location (Distance from KIX) | Services |
From $48. | 3 Chome-3-34 Ichibanishi, Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture (~10.7km) | Airport shuttle (pick-up/drop-off, free), luggage storage, wake-up call, restaurant, massage room, Wi-Fi (public areas), taxi booking, 24-hour front desk | |
