My wife and I are going to have two large suitcases so we are unsure the best route to take. There does not seem to be any direct flights from the USA to Osaka.. everything looks to go through Tokyo first.
Kansai International is the closest airport to Kyoto. It is in South Osaka, and is probably only an hour away from Kyoto by train.

There certainly are direct flights from the USA to Osaka... just the name of the airport is Kansai (KIX). You can go from Seattle, LA or San Fran, at least.
