Its terminal, a beautiful, modern four story structure, is the longest in the world (1,7km) and was designed by the prominent Italian architect Renzo Piano.

Indeed, even first-time passengers feel the comfort and the convenience of KIX in terms of the procedures and flow that need to be followed, from the time one disembarks up to picking luggage. International arrivals sort out immigration matters and baggage on the first floor, while international departures take place on the third floor after one is ticketed on the fourth floor. A 24-Hour Airport Lounge, Business Center, VIP and Conference Rooms and, of course, Duty Free shops offering branded goods at attractive prices are readily available. If you happen to be traveling with your pet, you can always have it kept at the Pet Hotel, the first ever in Japan.
