United's San Francisco nonstop is Kansai's year-round direct door, every other gateway connects over Tokyo on a single through-fare, and for Kyoto trips Osaka beats Tokyo as the arrival airport by a wide margin.

The advisor playbook
How we buy Osaka premium fares
United flies San Francisco to Osaka Kansai nonstop year-round, with Los Angeles and Seattle service to Osaka announced for 2027. From everywhere else, ANA and JAL connect over Tokyo Haneda on through-fares that add little to the Tokyo price, in the same flagship cabins, and the US carriers price against them on the trunk legs.
Why Osaka: Kansai serves Kyoto in about 75 minutes by airport express, versus well over two hours from Tokyo, and puts Nara and Kobe on day-trip range. The fare calendar follows the Japan pattern: January-February and June are the floors, cherry-blossom season and Golden Week sell out first, and autumn foliage in Kyoto makes November a quiet second peak worth booking early.
