Open since 1994 and located in Osaka Bay more than an hour and a half by car or bus from Kyoto, it has become Japan's first 24-hour airport. In 2018, it was damaged by a typhoon that temporarily cut it off from the city, but it is now fully operational again. The fastest way to get there from Kyoto is to take the JR Haruka Limited express which takes you there in 1h20. The journey is covered by the JR pass. Another possibility is to take the JR Rapid to Osaka and then a JR train to Kyoto.
