Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had an overnight layover and this hotel was very close to the airport. They also had a shuttle service available, but I used the train. Nice place to shower and sleep without worrying about missing your flight! There are also some nearby stores to visit and a Lawson's. The Rinku Park is nice to walk around and the station is very close so you can also head to Namba to go sight seeing."
