Kansai Airport to Imperial Hotel, Osaka

Imperial Hotel (Osaka) - Japan  2024

There was quite a large crowd at the customs hall in the Kansai Airport! It took much longer than we had expected to finally pick up our suitcases: we were charged an extra fee for being late for our taxi pickup. 

Back in 2016 I noted that "the route from the airport into Osaka proper is actually quite long." So this time we weren't that surprised at the interminable drive, featuring smokestacks, freeway traffic and a super convoluted route down alleyways and side streets.

Finally got to the hotel though, with an impressive chrysanthemum display in the lobby!
