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.
