Please click here for details of the KIX Airport Shuttle Bus, which takes about one hour and goes directly to the Sheraton Kobe Bay Hotel and Shin-Kobe area.
The Kobe Bay Sheraton and Plaza Kobe hotels are very close to CA, on Rokko Island and walking distance to the school. Some visitors prefer to stay in hotels in the Sannomiya area of Kobe, with many more food and entertainment options.
Travel time to Sannomiya is about 25-30 mins via the JR line and Rokko Liner.

Travel Note: Spring in Japan

KIX is a great airport, but Springtime in Japan has become very popular with tourists. Please arrive at the airport two hours before your return flight to allow ample time for security and immigration. Airport transfer from Rokko Island Sheraton to KIX takes around one hour; prior registration is required. Online registration can be completed here.
