Hi guys just need some opinion here from all the seniors here.
Im gonna travel to osaka next year mid of january and when i reach kansai airport it will be around 9.40pm night.

1) So im just dilemma wherther i should stay a night at the nearest hotel from airport or head directly to osaka city hotel ?

2) Second question is im thinking if i stay at the hotel near to kansai airport then i should direct to kyoto in the next morning to start my itinerary in kyoto first and save osaka for the last.

3) And lastly can i just stay osaka for my 8 days trips and travel conveneintly to kyoto and nara ?

Any recommendation ? Thanks alot.

Btw my trip is 8days 7 nights.

Are there cases where Japan Airbnb hosts cancel paid and confirmed stay at the very last minute? This is what's worrying me about booking with Airbnb, first time user here..
Same situation here as your no.1 question.. There's one hotel in the airport itself but it costs a bomb. But I also remembered there being several night trains which you can hop on to..

Think i will just skip the hotel near airport as it is really expensive...

Q1 & 2 : why not just go straight to kyoto after u landed?

Q3 : yes, u can but is it worth it depends on how many person are u travelling with(is the train fare u paid(both way) cheaper than your hotel's difference?)

Is it possible go straight to Kyoto after landed at that late hour ? im worried if Airasia delay...btw im traveling with my wife only. TQ

1) just straight go to the city
2) no, just go to osaka straight
3) can. osaka to kyoto is about half and hour journey by train

Can i directly to Kyoto after i landed ?

1. If you arrive KIX at 9.40pm, you should be able to catch the last 2 or 3 Airport Rapid trains to Osaka. Better to head to Osaka.

2. If following (1) above, just start your itinerary in Osaka. You can move to Kyoto later as you can catch the direct train from Kyoto to KIX for your return flight.

3. You can. The only thing is traveling to Kyoto from Osaka daily will cost more so you have to do your own calculations and see which is more worth it. Personally I find there's a lot to see in Kyoto so I prefer to base myself in Kyoto.

Thanks for the info, think i will just skip the airport hotel option and head straight to Osaka city (near Dotonburi ?) from the airport.

So which of the following plan is recommended as im currently drafting my itinerary ?

A. 2 days in Osaka -> 3 days in Kyoto and Nara -> 2 days in Osaka
B. 4 days in kyoto and Nara -> 3 days in Osaka (provided i head straight to Kyoto in the next morning after arrive in Kansai so i will just stay my first night in Osaka)
C. 3 days in Osaka -> 4 days in Kyoto and Nara (last day take the train from kyoto to Kansai airport)

Sorry this is the first time travel to Japan (2 pax) and landed in Kansai airpport at 9.40 night really make me headache.

Thanks for the help.
