explanation: Principal airport of Osaka and its environment. Initial airport of Osaka, Itami being saturated, the government decided to build a new airport. In order to avoid the same mistake as Narita, the airport has been built off the coast of south Osaka on Osaka Bay and opened in 1994. It has one runway and the second is under construction. You can reach there from Osaka's downtown (Naniwa or Tenoji stations) by train or bus (between 1 hour and 30 minutes of trip)
