Kansai Airport Guide to Connections and Moving Between Terminals

Reliability: Medium · Last checked: 2026-07-28

How to get between T1 and T2, and how connections between international and domestic flights work, with rough time estimates.

Moving Between Terminals

  • Terminal 1 ⇔ Terminal 2: 7–9 minutes by the free shuttle bus, which leaves from in front of Aeroplaza.
  • Terminal 1, Aeroplaza and the railway station are connected by walkways.

How Connections Work

  • Connecting within the same terminal: Follow your airline's instructions. From an international to a domestic flight, you may need to go through immigration, collect your baggage and check in again.
  • Connecting between T1 and T2 (e.g. international flight → Peach domestic flight): After entry procedures, collect your baggage, take the shuttle bus to T2 and check in again. We recommend allowing at least 2–3 hours.

Spending Your Waiting Time

  • NODOKA (Aeroplaza 2F), open 24 hours, has showers and power outlets and is convenient for a long wait between flights.
  • For a wait of a few hours, the observation hall "Sky View" and the Terminal 1 restaurant area are also options.

Points to Note

  • With separate tickets, you often cannot check your baggage through, and making the connection is your own responsibility. Plan with plenty of time.
  • The shuttle bus travel time is a guide. In busy periods, the wait may be longer.
