Kansai Airport to Kyoto hotel

Kyoto is about 90km from Kansai Airport and the JR express train transits it in 1 hour 15 minutes. Very convenient if you don't have much luggage. Apparently, the trains have no space for luggage storage and there's no room beside the seats either. Taking a cruise after our 10 days in Japan means we'll be dragging a gigantic suitcase that we won't need until we get on the ship. So, we need a better way to get to Kyoto. With a bit of research, I found MK Sky Gate Shuttle but I crossed my fingers when I sent off an email asking them to pick us up from our flight. Pleasant surprise, I received an answer the next morning with our reservation confirmed. We will be met by a driver waving a sign with my name which will be so welcomed after 17 + hours of travel. The cost is not that much more than the train - 3,000 yen ($35 Cdn) each.
