Description

The Haruka, also known as the Kansai Airport Limited Express is a convenient and comfortable limited express train that directly links Kansai International Airport (KIX) with major stations in west Japan's Kansai region: Nara, Kobe, Tennoji, Shin-Osaka and Kyoto. From Kansai-Airport Station, it takes approximately 35 minutes to Tennoji, 50 minutes to Shin-Osaka, and 1 hour and 20 minutes to Kyoto. Currently, the Haruka runs 60 rides (30 round-trips) a day.

Not only is this handy, special one-way pass for foreign visitors to Japan cheaper than booking the Haruka at regular price, but also, it is a bundle that gives the ticket holder access to the Haruka, plus transportation to the final destination via local, rapid, or special rapid train if needed! (Since the Haruka does not stop directly at Kobe or Nara, a transfer at Shin-Osaka is required for those destinations)

This special ticket grants the holder both time and cost savings, so book now for a smooth, hassle-free ride between Kansai International Airport and Nara!
