It is about 2hr 5 mins from Kyoto to Shinagawa then maybe 20-25mins on the train to HND
About 55mins by bus to Osaka Itami airport. ( not kansai) If choosing to fly JL from ITM to HND then JL will tag the bag through on separate tickets to the US
With a 4.25pm flight, either option would be good as you can leave kyoto mid morning.
I personally like exploring airports (and have lounge access) so would probably take the bus to ITM then fly ( if only hand baggage then i would take the shinkansen)

Thank you TBS very much for your reply.
Very helpful.
I too, like airports, my wife, not so much
Flying J so lounge access would be available at HND.
I will have to look into the relative costs for either option, but since we will have some larger pieces of luggage with us, I myself would like to check them in at ITM and be done with it!
Thanks again for your help,
Sincerely,
