Frequently asked questions
Is the JR Haruka Express part of the JR Pass?
The Limited Express Haruka is the only direct train service from Kansai Airport to Kyoto Station. The journey takes about one hour and fifteen minutes and is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass. However, if your travel plans don't make full use of the Japan Rail Pass - such as when you're visiting just a few places - buying Haruka train tickets individually might be a more affordable option in the long run. Just keep in mind that the Haruka Express is different from the Kansai Airport Rapid Service (also covered by the JR Pass), which connects to JR stations at Tennoji, Osaka, and Kyobashi.
Do I need to reserve seats on the JR Haruka Airport Express?
You don't technically need to reserve seats on the Haruka Express, as there are non-reserved seating options available. However, if you'd prefer the comfort and peace of mind of having a guaranteed seat - especially during busy times - it's highly recommended to get reserved seat tickets. Each train has a mix of non-reserved and reserved seating, so it's entirely up to you.
Can I use an IC card for the JR Haruka Airport Express?
You can't use an IC card alone for the Haruka, as it's a limited express train. You'll need to purchase a separate limited express ticket, which can be done at a ticket vending machine, saving you time by avoiding lines at the ticket office.
Can you bring luggage on the JR Haruka Airport Express?
Yes, you can bring luggage on the Haruka Express. The train has luggage racks for your convenience, and there are also designated luggage storage compartments available.
Is the Haruka train a bullet train?
The Haruka train is not a bullet train. It's a limited express service designed for quick travel from the airport to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and other cities in the Kansai region, reaching a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph).
How do I pay for the Haruka Express?
You can pay for the Haruka Express by purchasing tickets from the HARUKA e-ticket machine. Additional separate tickets are required for the limited express service, and these can be easily bought at the machine using cash or a credit card.
Are all Haruka trains Hello Kitty-themed?
Not all Haruka trains started as Hello Kitty-themed, but thanks to their popularity, more trains joined in on the fun. By 2024, nearly all Haruka trains now proudly feature the adorable Hello Kitty design!

The ride from Kyoto Station to KIX was great. I took unureserved seat because it was bothersome to have to make reservations for a seat. Anyway, if you board at Kyoto Station, you will always get a seat in the unreserved seat carriages as that's the first stop. At Osaka, quite a number of people who did not make reservations for reserved seats had to stand.
Nice, Easy to use it
Smooth and easy process, thank you!
Easy to exchange tickets and convenient!
All went very smoothly, once you get the hang of it.
Seamless redemption on the vending machines, there was english instructions available. The train was awesomely cute with hello kitty themed and also super convenient.
