One of the best options to reach the city center is by train. The trains run from Kansai Airport to Osaka Station, Namba Station, Tennoji Station or Shin-Osaka Station. If you have JR Pass, you can take the Limited Express Haruka, also called the Kansai Airport Express Haruka, which departs from Kansai Airport every 30 minutes and stops at Tennoji and Shin-Osaka stations. The regular ticket will cost 2000-3000 yen depending on where the station you will stop. Reserved and non-reserved seats are available.
