[2025 Izumisano Attraction] Travel Guide for KIX Observation Hall Sky View (Updated May)

#exploreasia Arriving in Kansai Airpott Osaka that morning, we were already tired from the long flight. We were busy filling up forms and fixing our phone for e-sim to be used at Japan. After changing out JR Pass , we top up ICOCA card to be used later in the city. We were really happy to be able to use the train Nankai Express which was so beautiful in the interior as well the exterior. The journey took us around 34 minutes to Tengachaya Station at only RM 34.89 per person. The journey itself was amazing because we get to travel on a bridge that stretch along the sea.

It's a rare sight among Japan's major airports 👀 Kansai International Airport does not have an observation deck inside the airport terminal, but is set up somewhere else 🛫 A free shuttle bus runs from the main terminal to the Kansai Airport Observation Hall Sky View, so even those without a car can access it without any problems. However, be sure to check the operating schedule in advance, especially if you are visiting before boarding ☝️ Inside the building, there are shops that sell a wide variety of aviation-related goods, as well as shops where you can enjoy snacks and tea, and it seemed like a place where you could spend a relaxing time watching the planes ✨ The deck is also spacious, and is divided into low and high positions, so you can see the airport and planes from various angles 😀 Unfortunately, it was cloudy when we visited, but it seems like it would be very pleasant on a clear, sunny day! If you have some free time at Kansai Airport, why not visit? 😉 #OsakaTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #DomesticTravel #OsakaPrefecture #Izumisano #KansaiAirport #KansaiInternationalAirport #kix #observationdeck #airport #airport #skyview
