II. Getting to the Kansai Kenshu Center
-----------------------------------------------

a) From Kansai International Airport

The nearest international airport is the Kansai International Airport
(KIX),
which is located about 40 kilometers south of Osaka City.
http://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/en/index.asp

Take the JR line from the airport. (Do not take the Nankai line).
Please buy a ticket of 860 yen at the ticket machine of JR.
You can go from the KIX to Sugimoto-cho Station with the single ticket.

JR West (West Japan Railway Company):
http://www.westjr.co.jp/english/global.html
Access to Kansai Airport by JR line:
http://www.westjr.co.jp/english/travel/kix/index.html

First take the train ``Kansai Airport Rapid Service"
from the Kansai-airport station to Sakai-shi Station
(a 35 minutes ride on JR Hanwa line).
Don't take an Airport Express called ``Haruka" which doesn't stop at
Sakai-shi Station and Sugimoto-cho Station.

Sakai-shi station is a small station, which has only two platforms.
One platform is for Tennoji and the other is from Tennoji.
(The Kansai Airport Rapid Service is towards the Tennoji direction.)
If you get off the Kansai Airport Rapid Servise at the
Sakai-shi station, please wait a local train which goes to Tennoji
at the same platform.
There is an electric notice board on which the information on trains
appears
alternately in Japanese and in English.

Transfer to a local train which goes to Tennoji.
After a 4 minute ride, get off at the second station, Sugimoto-cho Station.

KKC is a 10 minutes walk from the JR Sugimoto-cho Station.

b) From other airports

Not every airline serves the Kansai International Airport.
If you plan to land at airports in other cities, such as Nagoya,
Fukuoka or Narita (Tokyo), take the Shinkansen train (Superexpress, JR line)
to Shin-Osaka. Then take the Subway Midousuji Line (red line)
from Shin-Osaka Station (M13) to Abiko Station (M27) (a 30 minutes ride,
310 yen).
