A little advice for travellers to Narita Airport (for Tokyo) and Kansai Airport (for Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe):
The closest hotels to Tokyo's Narita airport are located in Narita and in
Chiba. You should allow 2-3 hours to get from Chiba to any place in central Tokyo. These hotels are handy for transiting through Narita overnight but are very inconvenient for commuting to central Tokyo.
The closest hotels to Kansai airport are in
Osaka but there is a very convenient express train service from Kyoto.
Kyoto is a much more pleasant place to depart than Osaka and, as the train station is smaller, it is much easier to find the airport train.
Kyoto is about 30 minutes from Osaka by express train and is a good base for sightseeing in Osaka, Kyoto and
Nara.
