Are you/work paying cash or going on miles? Splitting the inbound and outbound on different LLC/alliances might be the most time efficient.
I do not know which airline I will take from Philippines but I will fly out on either BR or Asiana on business class back to YYZ.
I have never been there and how are the trains to Osaka to Takamatsu?Is it airline style that I can check my luggage in or have to carry them inside? Are there fast trains too?
thank you for the information and I will keep asking a bit more as the time gets nearer.
thanks to all
Takamatsu's a smaller airport.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takamatsu_Airport It probably makes sense to fly to KIX and take the
train into Osaka
https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2033.html Which train might depend on where in Osaka you might need to stay. JR Haruka makes sense for Osaka Tennoji area while the Nankai line goes to Namba, which tends to have more of the entertainment sector.

Air Canada does offer a 3x weekly flight from KIX to YYZ during the summer months

There's plenty of tourism in Osaka so English isn't a problem. There is plenty of info online for Osaka including restaurant/menu suggestions if you have dietary limitations.
Takamatsu- you won't have issues checking into a hotel or using Google Maps. Ask for the office's phone number for taxi driver's navigation or directions from whomever you are visiting (assuming there's a specific destination in Takamatsu as it's not on the usual first time visitor list). Confirm the info with Google maps and street view.
