Osaka is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Kansai International (KIX) is the city’s international gateway and a full-service hub for long-haul and regional carriers including Japan Airlines, ANA and several Asian and Middle Eastern airlines; it typically handles more international traffic and can be pricier to reach from the city center. Kansai sits on an artificial island about 50–60 km from central Osaka; the airport express takes roughly 35–50 minutes (fare ranges can be moderate to high depending on train type), while airport limousine buses and taxis can take 45–70 minutes with higher costs. Pros: extensive international connections and good rail links. Cons: longer transfer times and occasionally higher ground-transport fares. Itami (Osaka International, ITM) functions mainly as a domestic and regional airport, favored by low-cost domestic carriers and frequent business travelers on short-haul flights. Located about 10–15 km north of downtown Osaka, Itami typically offers quick transfers — monorail and bus options often reach the city center in 20–30 minutes with economical fares, and taxis are comparatively affordable for short hops. Pros: convenience and shorter travel times for domestic trips. Cons: limited international services and smaller ground-transport variety compared with Kansai.

Tokyo is served by two main airports with different roles. Narita International (NRT), situated roughly 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, functions as the primary long-haul and international hub and typically hosts major full-service carriers and many low-cost international services; travel to the city center can take 60–90 minutes by Narita Express or similar limited express trains (fares usually in the mid-range for Japan), or around 60–120 minutes by highway bus or taxi depending on traffic. Haneda (HND), much closer at about 15–20 km south of downtown, acts as a busy international and domestic airport with a strong presence of full-service Japanese carriers and growing low-cost routes; it’s often quicker and cheaper to reach central Tokyo—15–30 minutes by monorail/train or 20–40 minutes by taxi, with fares that can be noticeably lower than from Narita. Pros: Haneda offers convenience and shorter transfer times, while Narita tends to have broader long-haul choices and sometimes lower fares on international budget airlines. Cons: Narita’s distance can mean longer transfers and extra cost for express trains, whereas Haneda can be busier and pricier for some last-minute services.

In different months, ticket prices from Osaka to Tokyo vary: minimum — $39 (December 2025), maximum — $88 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $53–$108.
