Last update :

The world’s first airport on a completely artificial island, “Kansai International Airport,” has served as an international gateway for business and tourism in western Japan since its doors first opened in 1994. Because its airport code is “KIX,” it is also called “KIX” and boasts a total area of approximately 1,055 hectares.

The “KIX Observation Hall Sky View” is located approximately 320 meters from Runway A, the main runway, and offers a variety of contents from the first to fifth floors. On the rooftop is the “Sky Deck,” where visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view and watch airplanes taking off and landing up close.

“Sky Shop Town” on the fourth floor sells a wide range of aviation-related products, from official airline goods to collector’s model airplanes. On the third floor, there is the “Sky Museum,” where visitors can enjoy learning about KIX and aircraft.
