Kansai Airport to Kanazawa 2015/7/12 04:15
Hi,
Asking for some advise on how to get from Kansai Airport to Kanazawa smoothest.

I suppose there are no direct flights to Kanazawa (Komatsu) airport?

I will have a JR pass as I will travel very long after Kanazawa visit, in case that helps.

1) Take the Haruka limited express from Kansai Airport to Shin-Osaka Station
2) Take the Thunderbird limited express from Shin-Osaka to Kanazawa

I recommend to make seat reservations after arrival in Shin-Osaka.

There is at least one connection per hour. Here you can look up actual connections:

Uji,
Thank you for the reply.
Wouldnt it be better to reserve while in Kansai airport than Shin Osaka?

Is it often being booked out?

Sorry, I meant to write Kansai Airport. Not Shin-Osaka.

It is more often not booked out. But since you board the Thunderbird at Shin-Osaka rather than its first station, Osaka, I think it provides peace of mind to have a seat reservation for the Thunderbird.

Ah, you are right. Wouldn't want to gamble on that...
