①Access by Train
There are two lines from Kansai Airport Station, 【JR Line】 and 【Nankai Line】!
You can go to Nara by either train◎!
▼Let’s go to Nara like this!
Use a local line!
From the airport, there are “Kansai Limited Express Haruka (JR)” and “Limited Express Rapi:t (Nankai Line)” that can be reached earlier than local lines by selecting seats.
But I do not recommend it.
Although both are more expensive than local lines, the time reduction is only about 10 to 15 minutes.
The merit of using the limited express is not so great.
People who “absolutely want to sit in a seat” may use it◎
Kansai Airport Station

*Terminal 1 is for international and domestic flights other than LCC, and Terminal 2 is for LCC main

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 ⇔ Nara”, but according to an estimate from Kansai Airport, the price is ¥28,280 / 90mins, 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!)
