KansaiAirport → Kyoto
①Access by Train
There are two lines from Kansai Airport Station, 【JR Line】 and 【Nankai Line】!
I recommended JR because faster!
There may be few people who go straight from Kansai Airport to Fushimi Inari, but I have posted it just in case.(It takes a lot of time…!)
▼Let’s go to Kyoto like this!
Use a local line!
There are time-saving means of “Kansai Limited Express Haruka” from the airport, and “Tokaido Shinkansen” from Osaka, but I do not recommend it.
“Limited Express Haruka” is only between Kansai Airport and Tennoji, and it is not easy to use because it requires a transfer to Osaka. Plus bit expensive.
You can get between Osaka and Kyoto in less than 30 minutes by using the rapid service train, so don’t use the Shinkansen!
Kansai Airport Station
“Kansai Airport Station” is located in Terminal 1 Building.
*Terminal 1 is for international and domestic flights other than LCC, and Terminal 2 is for LCC main
You can move from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 by free shuttle bus.
If you want to go cheap, take the train！
Next is how to get there by bus!

③Access by Uber(Taxi)
Uber is a well-known ride-hailing service.
It is a system that you can know the price in advance because it will be the flow of dispatching after getting an estimate.
Credit information is registered in advance, it is convenient to get off without the hassle of paying after using a taxi!
This time, I am writing the amount estimated below. Please note that prices may vary depending on the time of day.
Uber has a driver evaluation system, so they will drive you carefully!
The reason I didn’t choose is …
Taxis are more expensive!
Of course, there are taxis between “Airport ⇔ Kyoto”, but according to an estimate from Kansai Airport, the price is ¥35,280 / 120mins, which is higher than Uber.
If you are worried about Uber, you may use a taxi ◎
If you want to go comfortably, Uber and taxis are recommended! (Although it is very expensive)
Summary
That’s how to get to 【Kansai Airport → Kyoto】!
