Smooth arrival through Osaka Kansai International Airport

Hey there! So, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Osaka Kansai International Airport, and let me tell you, it was an absolute breeze! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted by a warm and friendly crowd of people who went above and beyond to make sure my journey was as smooth as silk. It’s no wonder Japan is known for its exceptional service!

Now, I’m not going to lie, I didn’t have to worry about visas or any fancy paperwork. But if you’re planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend registering your trip ahead of time at Visit Japan Web. It’s a game-changer and can save you a lot of hassle.

Once you land at the airport, you’ll be asked to follow a specific route based on whether you have a registered trip or a paper landing card. If you’ve registered, you’ll head to a terminal where you scan a barcode from your webpage and confirm you are happy with your immigration and customs declaration. It’s a quick and easy process, and it’s a great way to avoid any unnecessary delays.  I would recommend storing a screenshot or printing the QR code so that you don’t need to access the webpage in the airport.

After scanning your barcode, you’ll be greeted by an immigration officer who will place a sticker in your passport. This sticker shows how long you can stay in Japan and has a QR code that you can use for tax-free shopping.

After that, it’s just a short walk to the luggage carousels, which are clearly marked. If you can, try to queue behind the line until your luggage appears and can be taken from the belt. If there are people in front of you, just say “summimasen” and be polite.

Finally, you’ll follow the letter you were given to the Customs officer. They may ask you a few questions, but they’ll probably greet you and wish you a good day.

And there you have it, my experience at Osaka Kansai International Airport. It was a breeze, and I had an amazing time. If you’re ever planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend visiting this airport. You won’t be disappointed!

Oh, and here are a few other useful words that you can use throughout your trip:

Good morning! Say “ohayō” instead of “good morning”.

Good day! Say “konnichiwa” instead of “hello”.

Good evening! Say “konbanwa” instead of “good evening”.

Thank you! Say “arigatōgozaimasu” instead of “thank you”.

Yes! Say “hai” instead of “yes”.

No! Say “īa” instead of “no”.
