A bus from Tokushima to Itami Airport?

We will be in Tokushima in May and I have been trying to find links to bus companies that can
take me directly to Itami Airport from Tokushima Railway Station.

We can use our railpass, but that requires leaving on the 7am train.

My frustration is that it is easier to go all the way to Narita by train than to get to Itami from Tokushima.

There are no direct buses. But there are buses between Tokushima Station and Osaka Station from where there are buses to Itami Airport:

Dear Uji, Thank you for the link but it does not show any timetables from Tokushima. Am I missing something?

I think from Tokushima, that there is no direct bus bound Itami. Buses to Kansai airport and Kobe airport is operated. Uji so to say, you need to transfer to a bus bound for Itami Airport in Sannomiya, or Osaka.

Do you know of any web links to bus timetables from Tokushima to Sannomiya or Osaka bus centre?
