Osaka Kansai International Airport has undergone a major transformation

The transformed Osaka Kansai International Airport (Osaka Kansai International Airport) will be grandly opened on March 27, 2025, warmly welcoming friends from all over the world🥳 A few days ago, I received a cordial invitation from Kansai International Airport to attend an internal tour of the newly added area. Let's take a look at the new changes at Kansai International Airport👍 👉🏻In order to welcome the Osaka Kansai Expo and to facilitate the majority of passengers, Kansai International Airport T1 Terminal has been renovated in four phases since 2017. The third phase of the project has been completed and will soon be grandly opened. ✈️The area of ​​the T1 international line building has increased by 25%, the area of ​​the new international line departure area has increased by 60%, and the commercial area is divided into 4 areas with different styles. 🛋️First is the KIX Lounge Premium of about 800 square meters and the KIX Lounge Kansai of about 2,970 square meters in the new international area. 🛬KIX Lounge Kansai is divided into two areas, north and south, based on the theme of "ancient capital" x "city". 🍵South side is a space for calm and relaxation. The evenly distributed patio design presents the characteristic form of the "ancient capital", and the use of metal decorations shows the image of the ancient capital in the Kansai style👘 ☕️The North side is a vibrant and harmonious space. The high ceiling with an urban feel reflects the sun's rays through the mirror panels, and by mapping the characters and furniture, it presents a lively atmosphere like in the city🏙️ The corridor connecting the north and south rest areas is like a clear river flowing from the ancient capital to the urban area. 🛫KIX Lounge Premium is themed after the Kazama Lounge with the wind. It has 143 seats, massage chairs, exclusive bar counter, buffet, ordering and other services. To be honest, the food here is not only exquisite, but also tastes praiseworthy! 🥃 👨‍✈️Next is the immigration inspection area that is of most concern. The international security inspection area has been expanded to approximately 6,300 square meters. There are 18 security inspection machines in operation, which can handle about 6,000 people per hour. The area of ​​the entry-exit inspection area has been expanded to approximately 2,300 square meters, with 38 inspection counters. It will greatly reduce the entry inspection time for foreign travelers. It has really become easier to enter and leave the country. 🛍️Finally, a new duty-free shop has been added to the international arrivals area. You can buy some very popular overseas products here, so don’t forget to check it out. 💁🏻‍♂️Tips: Kansai International Airport Duty Free Shop has already started online ordering services. You can place an order in advance and pick it up at the airport, which is very convenient. You can try it. Please note⚠️This service is currently only available in Terminal 1, so be sure to confirm it! 😊
