Kansai International Airport (関西国際空港, Kansai Kokusai Kūkō, commonly known as Kankū (関空)) (IATA: KIX, ICAO: RJBB) is the primary international airport in the Greater Osaka Area of Japan and the closest international airport to the cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. It is located on an artificial island (Kankūjima (関空島)) in the middle of Osaka Bay off the Honshu shore, 38 km (24 mi) southwest of Ōsaka Station,[4] located within three municipalities, including Izumisano (north),[5] Sennan (south),[6] and Tajiri (central),[7] in Osaka Prefecture.

Kansai opened on 4 September 1994 to relieve overcrowding at the original Osaka International Airport, referred to as Itami Airport, which is closer to the city of Osaka and now handles only domestic flights. It consists of two terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1, designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, is the longest airport terminal in the world with a length of 1.7 km (1+1⁄16 mi). The airport serves as an international hub for All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, and Nippon Cargo Airlines, and also serves as a hub for Peach, the first international low-cost carrier in Japan.

In 2016, 25.2 million passengers used the airport, making it the 30th busiest airport in Asia and 3rd busiest in Japan. The freight volume was 802,162 tonnes total: 757,414 t international (18th in the world) and 44,748 t domestic.[8] The 4,000 m × 60 m (13,120 ft × 200 ft) second runway was opened on 2 August 2007. As of June 2014, Kansai Airport has become an Asian hub, with 780 weekly flights to Asia and Australasia (including freight 119), 59 weekly flights to Europe and the Middle East (freight 5), and 80 weekly flights to North America (freight 42).[9]

In 2020, Kansai received Skytrax's awards for Best Airport Staff in Asia, World's Best Airport Staff, and World's Best Airport for Baggage Delivery.[10][11]

Nikko Hotels International (ニッコー・ホテルズ・インターナショナル, Nikkō Hoteruzu Intānashonaru) is an international hotel chain comprising Hotel Nikko (ホテル日航, Hoteru Nikkō) properties in Asia, Europe, North America, and the South Pacific. It is owned by Okura Hotels.[1] Nikko Hotels International (NHI) began operations in 1972 as the global hotel brand of Japan Airlines,[2] with its first property located in Jakarta.[3] The first NHI-operated hotel in Japan opened in 1973.[3] Other Nikko properties have been owned and operated by other entities; among the oldest Nikko properties is the Ginza Nikko, which opened in 1959.[4][5]

Nikko Hotels International used to be owned by Japan Airlines Development Company Limited, which in the 1990s was renamed JAL Hotels.[1] Following its acquisition in 2010, it became a subsidiary of Okura Hotels.[1] Hotel Nikko affiliates include the Hotel Royal properties in Southeast Asia.
