Japan, getting there and around

The Narita Airport (also called the New Tokyo International) is 40 miles away from the capital, Tokyo. Moving from one terminal to another is easy, as each have a separate railway station and are serviced by a free shuttle bus. The ride from the airport to the city takes an hour. Cabs are available, but fares are very expensive. It is possible to take the JR or Keisei train service-book ahead of time to ensure a seat.

Kansai International Airport (KIX) is 30 miles away from Osaka. The high taxi fares make the bus, train, and ferry a more feasible way of going to the city. There are also minibuses that can bring you directly to the major hotels.
