Osaka International Airport (ITM, ICAO RJOO), usually called Itami, is the domestic-only airport on the northern edge of Osaka, straddling Itami in Hyogo and Toyonaka in Osaka Prefecture — about 20 km by road from central Osaka and the closest airport to Kyoto. International travellers arrive here on a domestic connection from Haneda, Narita, Chitose, Fukuoka or Naha; the Osaka Monorail links it to the city rail network. RydAgent fixed-price transfers run from Itami to Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara and every destination below.

Itami is domestic-only (officially 'Osaka Itami Airport — Domestic only'). International travellers arrive here on a connecting flight from Haneda, Narita, Chitose, Fukuoka and other Japanese airports.
As standard, your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. Collect your bags, clear customs, walk out — the name board is the first thing you look for. If airport conditions ever make a name board impossible (peak-hour parking restrictions, for example), the driver sends a photo and guides you by WhatsApp to the pickup point, so you are never left searching. At Itami the driver waits in the arrivals lobby of the terminal. Because Itami is a domestic airport, there is no immigration — you are usually out within minutes of the bags arriving, which is why we still track the flight to time the pickup.

Itami closes for the night (it is a city airport with a night curfew), so a very late arrival is rare. The practical issue is the opposite: early-morning departures. For a first flight out, the pickup is worked back from departure with a real traffic buffer and confirmed with you the day before.
