Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Narita (NRT) is the international gateway located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo and typically handles long‑haul and many full‑service carriers; it can be perceived as pricier for international connections. Travel to the city center usually takes 55–90 minutes by Narita Express or 60–80 minutes by airport limousine bus, with fares generally in the mid‑range for rail and similar for express buses. Haneda (HND), closer at roughly 14 km south of downtown, has grown into a major international and domestic hub favored by full‑service and some low‑cost airlines, offering faster transfers—15–30 minutes by monorail or train and 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Narita offers more international route options but longer transfers; Haneda is more convenient for quick city access, while budget travelers may favor connecting strategies to lower overall fares.
Kansai International Airport (KIX) is Osaka’s main international gateway and typically serves long-haul carriers alongside full-service Asian and Middle Eastern airlines, making it a major hub for transcontinental travel. Located on an artificial island about 50 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by road or 45–65 minutes by the airport express) from central Osaka, it’s commonly reached by the JR Haruka express, private airport trains, buses, and taxis; travel times and fares can vary by service and time of day. KIX usually offers extensive facilities and duty-free shopping, with the trade-off of longer transfer times to the city compared with closer airports. It’s a comfortable option for international itineraries but can feel more distant and occasionally pricier for surface transfers.
Itami Airport (Osaka International, ITM) functions primarily as a domestic and regional airport, often favored by business travelers and budget-conscious flyers using Japanese carriers and low-cost domestic services. Situated roughly 10–15 km north of central Osaka, Itami can typically be reached in about 20–30 minutes by airport limousine bus, local train plus bus, or taxi; fares are generally moderate and shorter than journeys from the international airport. The airport is convenient for quick domestic connections and tends to be easier to navigate, though it lacks many long-haul services and some international amenities found at larger hubs. Itami’s central location makes it a practical choice for short-haul travel with faster city access but limited international options.
