From Kansai Airport to Umeda

Can anyone please tell me the best way to get from Kansai Airport to our hotel in Umeda. We are a party of 6 with 4 large suitcases. We land at 830am. How frequent is the recommended mode of transport? Many thanks!

I recommend the airport bus or JR Airport Rapid to Osaka Station. Some airport buses stop directly at hotels in the Umeda area:

Thanks Uji. Do you know how often the airport bus departs? With 4 large suitcases, I think the airport bus is a better bet than taking the rapid train? Is there a website for me to check if the airport bus stops at my hotel? Many thanks in advance!

Every 20 minutes. Here is the timetables:
