The Kinki Region (‹ß‹E’n•û, Kinki Chihō), also commonly known as Kansai (ŠÖ�¼, literally "west of the border") encompasses the Kinki Plain and consists of seven prefectures. It used to be the political and cultural center of Japan for many centuries and includes the cities of Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

Access and Orientation

Osaka's Kansai International Airport is Japan's second largest international airport, served by many Japanese and international airlines. From Tokyo, the Kinki area can be easily accessed by the JR Tokaido Shinkansen in about two to three hours. Check the individual cities' access pages for more details.
