The Japan Limited Express Haruka is very fast and comfortable. It saves a lot of transportation time from Kyoto to the airport or Osaka to the airport. This time, I took the Limited Express Haruka twice from the airport to Kyoto and from Osaka to the airport.The directions for taking the bus from the airport are very clear. After leaving the country, it is easy to take the escalator to the second floor and follow the signs. However, when taking the bus back to the airport from Osaka Station, it took a long time to find the bus stop because the Osaka Station subway is too complicated. Fortunately, there is an introduction on YouTube to find it first. Go down the left hand escalator from the Central Exit to the North Exit and follow the sign for Nishi Umeda. Take Grand Front Osaka and Family Mart and you will arrive at Platform 21. If you want to take the bus from Osaka Station, be sure to find out the route first to feel more at ease.
