The choice of transportation should be depend on where the hotel or destination is located. I recommend first-time travelers to minimize transfer of train lines to reduce stress and error. I also recommend visitors with large suitcase or luggage to choose express bus because dragging/carrying your luggage in busy train stations during rush hours is not a very pleasant experience.
Just go up to the second floor after arrival
Walk across the bridge and you will arrive at Kansai Airport (Train) Station
Ticket booth staff can answer your questions while you are buying tickets.
