Arriving from Overseas
Most visitors to the BDR Kobe Campus find Kansai International Airport (KIX) to be the most convenient airport when arriving from overseas. The BDR Kobe campus is also well served by the nearby Kobe airport and Osaka (Itami) airport, with flights to and from most major Japanese domestic destinations.
Kobe's downtown area of Sannomiya has an extensive public transportation system, allowing access to not only Kobe city but also further afield.
