Heading to Kansai International Airport by JR’s Kansai Airport Rapid? Pay Attention!


This train is a convenient and fast way to get from Kyoto or Osaka to Kansai International Airport—no extra charges for a limited express ticket!

But beware, if you’re not paying attention, you might find yourself far from your intended destination.

Here’s the catch: the train is made up of 8 cars, but they split in two different directions!

  • The front 4 cars go to Kansai International Airport
  • The rear 4 cars head to Wakayama

At Hineno Station, the train splits up and the two halves go their separate ways.

Imagine thinking you’re on your way to the airport, only to find yourself in Wakayama instead! That would be quite the surprise, right?

It’s a great option to travel fast and affordably from Kyoto or Osaka. Just make sure you’re in the right half of the train for a smooth trip to the airport!

Safe travels—and watch those car numbers!
