Very good design of the airport. Everything clear and easy to find. On the way out from arrival floor, south gate, stick to the left and you will see SIM card vending machines for prepaid internet.Upvoted 2 hours ago
Petros RigasMarch 17, 2015Great variety of foods & snacks from all over Japan. If you're looking for Royce Chocolate, you've found it. Prices are truly "Duty Free". U can easily tell by visiting any of the high-end shops.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Bryan TanJune 23, 2013If you're taking a late flight out at the end of a long day, ¥500 gives you 30min to grab a shower at the KIX Refresh Cabin; the transit lounge also has complimentary drinks and massage chairs!Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Klaus BudinegaraJune 29, 2012Free wifi is very difficult to find in Osaka, so use the free wifi in KIX to buy the cheapest data sim card here http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/u300_visitor.html and have it delivered to your hotel.Upvoted Mar 1
Putra PuteraJanuary 22, 2017Get your simcard 7 day unlimited promotion. Around 5200 yen . If still available . Normal price is 6900 yen i think. Compare if you malaysia roaming charge you 40myr perday x 7 = 280myr ( 7000 yen) .
Matt Ta-MinDecember 18, 2019Very efficient airport that is easy to use. Immigration checks are automated and customs takes next to no time to get through. Then there is a Japan rail station directly next to it. Super convenient.
Noctis LouieJanuary 23, 2019A large selection of food choices (way more delicious than your average airport restaurants). Efficient immigration and very convenient for travelling to the rest of the country.
Azu AlhusaynanJanuary 14, 2018What an airport, you can get all you need to get your trip started. If you are traveling in Japan. I recommend you to purchase the nation wide JR pass, and a sim card with unlimited data ☺️
Kenneth ReyesFebruary 13, 2015Amazing airport. SIM cards can be found on far right side once you exit customs and enter arrivals hall. They're in vending machines. Can also try SoftBank desk if arriving before 9pm
Rapit Train is the best for getting to Namba Station(Southern Osaka downtown). Haruka(JR) is the best for getting to Kyoto Station. Limousine is the best for getting to Umeda(Northern Osaka downtown).
Alessandro CandeoSeptember 30, 2016Osaka int'l hub is seamlessly connected to the city in many different ways (train, ferry, bus) so you don't need an expensive (16,000¥) taxi. Nice choice of shops and restaurants. Free WiFi.
Hayo BartAugust 25, 2014Arriving and a foreigner? Be sure to properly fill your disembarkation card (don't forget the back!) BEFORE queueing at immigration. It will save you, your fellow travelers and staff a lot of time.
ErmanJuly 2, 2016A lot of souvenirs and gift items are available. Don't worry if haven't had time to do gift shopping in Osaka. You can find it all at the departures terminal
Arief EngahAugust 4, 2019Its a compact airport for a international flight. Queue for immigration and security are stupidly long during peak hours. Unless you’re flying on business or first, be early! And enjoy the airport
Siew WongMay 4, 2013Very basic airport. The Japanese are so amazing. They provide a very clean kids' room for the kids FOC. Even a sml origami after the play!
For those who want to go to downtown Osaka (e.g. Namba, Shin-Imamiya), take the Nankai trains. For those who want to change to the Shinkansen or those who want to go to Kyoto directly, take JR West.
CamiliaJune 19, 2018Good size airport. Busy but not too crowded. Airport express train directly to the airport. Very convenience.
ikachApril 9, 2016TO KYOTO> buy a 1 day JR pass ( yen 2300 works out cheaper and faster than bus 2550 ) & when in KYOTO then buy single all day passes which aren't available at osaka.
Nice! There are a lot of shops even after immigration. The waiting area for boarding is very spacious. CR at gate 33 is very clean, toiletries (tissue, paper seat, soap, etc) are well provided.
Siarhei ViareikaApril 11, 2018Good free WiFi, plenty of space to have a nap between flights, not crowded most of the time. Also good deals at duty free shops, especially on traditional sweets and teas.
Shaun FSeptember 17, 2023Sim cards are fairly priced (ignore earlier tip) - wasted time going into the city to pay the same price (30gb for ¥4400) - just buy at the airport kiosk which is also much simpler/easier
Suzanne JenkinsMay 26, 2013Take the train or bus into Osaka city. Cabs are very expensive. Takes about 45 mins by train. I had a long layover at KIX and got into the city and back very leisurely. Worth the trip!- JonasSeptember 3, 2014Soft couches are located just past the security check (air side). On the land side, you can find two couches on 3F at the north escalators to 4F.
Kevin S OshiroAugust 22, 2018T Galleria (Duty Free) shopping mall - bright lights and make-up tables; a Royal Thai Cuisine restaurant. a Hot Boiling Water fountain. Please keep your previous Boarding Pass slips.
Terminal 1 for all airlines except Peach and Terminal 2 is for Peach only. Take the free shuttle bus from Terminal 2 to terminal 1 where the train station is located. That's the cheapest way to town.
Airport is an artificial island in itself, with little to no services. Far from everything, not unlike Narita. What’s more, the island has already sunk a whopping 38 feet in 25 years.
This airport is known as they have NEVER LOST LUGGAGE since opened in 1994. That's why was chosen best 1 airport in the world 2015 (luggage section) they always carry it very carefully for customers
This is not the biggest or grandest airport I have been but somehow it is my favourite airport. Quick efficient and clean.
J-OSLMarch 14, 2016Lots of stuffs for shopping at duty free price even at night, Royces chocolate, Tokyo banana, and electronic devices.
If you have aJapanese passport and you intend to get your tax back MAKE SURE after using the automated immigration you get your stamp in the passport or you will NOT get your tax back!
JNovember 2, 2016The duty free shops carry just about all the regional specialty snacks, not just from Osaka: Tokyo banana, shiroi koibito cookies, Kobe sweets, etc.- Nick FodenOctober 16, 2018If you are a foreigner. Find a 7/11 branded atm in terminal 1 or 2 before heading to the trains. You will need Yen to buy train tickets and other atms wont take your card.
Please leave enough time (at least 30 min to spare) if u r taking a train to KIX. Cause there r various kinds of trains (local, semi-express, etc) some diff trains may not take u where u wanna be!
Azwandi ArisFebruary 9, 2017Short layover? Just under 4 hours I was able to do a return trip to Namba station (via Rap:t), walk to Mel's Coffee Roasters & stroll around Dotonbori.
If you are a resident, get an automated passport control check-in stamp - easily done on the top floor, immigration has an office there.- Kevin S OshiroAugust 22, 2018Pants belts, watches, cell phones, laptop computers and cell phones must be put on the inspection trays. Georgia coffee on sale for as much as 150 Yen, tea and soda in vending machines
RJJ AlkisadaAugust 9, 2014The place is totally open so ventiliation is not a problem. Try accessing free internet anywhere in Osaka via visa card registration upon wifi search here. Train and bus attendants are really helpful.
Stefan MaierhoferJune 22, 2016Flew from terminal 2, a budget terminal. Felt very well organized and convenient walking distances.
Cynthia DrescherMay 28, 2013Kyoto-bound? Buy the Haruka & ICOCA combo ticket at the JR train office. 4000 Yen cash gets a roundtrip from KIX to Kyoto on Haruka express train + 2500 on a ICOCA for more transport in Kansai region.
Ed KrugerJuly 11, 2013Plenty of restaurants on the 2 and 3 floors., and a lot of shops on the 3 floor. Strongest free wifi on the 2nd F
Siwat ChawareewongApril 16, 2014Family should look room a kids room. Play area for toddlers and kids, microwave, feeding room. FREE.Upvoted Feb 20
Wdychen NYCNovember 21, 2013Airy and spacious. Unfortunately not a lot of dinning options within the terminal. Love the section where Haruka Express traveled above the ocean before entering the airport.
Eugene SiewSeptember 8, 2013no decent food at the boarding area...remember to check-in early and hang around at the check-in area for food hunting before going into the departure hall!
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑September 28, 2016Nice airport with excellent shopping and dinning option. With good public transport connections to the surrounding area.
Davy ChanMay 14, 2017If you are buying general munchies for consumption within the airport, get it from Family Mart. Cheapest option available.
Christy LandesSeptember 20, 2015Easy to get in/out. There's a lounge with pay access for quiet space or a shower. First class lounge is not fancy but quiet.
ᴡ PadillaApril 17, 2018There’s not a lot of dining options once you go past immigration. Lots of souvenirs & treats though and you can use Pasmo / Suica card to pay for stuff.
Mini KiangDecember 9, 2017Amazing airport! Nice and clean. There are signs everywhere. You will never get lost here.- Arief EngahMarch 2, 2017Quite a compact terminal but you'll be amaze how spacious it feel. Lots of restaurant on 3rd floor. Airport polices always roam the terminal so security should be no issue at all.

"They sell many Japan limited kitkat flavors (e.g., sakura matcha, japanese strawberry, hokkaido red bean, wasabi, strawberry cheese cake). Buy inside inside departure hall, it's cheaper"
