Kobe is 60–80 km from Kansai Airport. The fastest public transport option is the Bay Shuttle ferry plus the Port Liner — taking about 65 minutes but requiring a walk between terminals. The JR Haruka route goes via Osaka, adding time. A private transfer takes you from the airport directly to any address in Kobe in about 65 minutes via the Hanshin Expressway. At ¥23,000 for an Alphard, it's excellent value for groups of 2 or more. Arima Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring resort, is 85–90 minutes from Kansai Airport by private car — significantly more direct than the public transport route (airport bus to Osaka + subway + train). Fixed price ¥23,000 in an Alphard. The driver takes you straight to your ryokan entrance with all luggage.
