Very convenient and fast, it takes only a short time to get to the airport from the city. When booking a seat, it is recommended to choose one that is close to the luggage storage, otherwise it will be full very quickly

The tour leader Xiaoyu was attentive and enthusiastic, and the driver and assistant were also very enthusiastic. Although the cherry blossoms are still in the bud stage, it should be a very beautiful sight in a week. In order not to disappoint everyone, we specially found a place where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom so that everyone can feast their eyes. The service was really great. Thank you Xiaoyu and the two handsome guys.

It is the best choice to go directly to Kyoto after landing at Osaka Kansai Airport. It is very convenient. E-tickets are cheaper than physical tickets and there is no need to queue.

I just love the Klook platform. I can buy and use it anytime. It is really a good helper for business trips and travel. This time I bought the Kansai Airport Express and joined JR membership, so I could use my mobile phone to scan the QR code to enter and exit the station. I no longer had to queue up with the crowd to get a physical ticket. It was simple, fast and environmentally friendly. Push push.
