How to say "access" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • noun, suru verb, intransitive verbCovers access to a place, especially by public transport: how easy it is to reach a station, venue, or tourist spot. Used when discussing how convenient a location is to get to.
    空港くうこうへのアクセスがいいところに泊とまろうよ。↗
    Let's stay somewhere with easy airport access.
  • 参入さんにゅうCommon
    noun, suru verb, intransitive verbReally means entering the marketplace or introducing something to the market, as when a company moves into a new industry. Its 'access' sense is marginal; it is seldom the word for ordinary access.
    あと数すう社しゃの企業きぎょうが同国どうこくの利益りえきの高たかいペットフード市場しじょうに参入さんにゅうをねらっている。↗
    Several more companies are moving to enter the lucrative pet food market of the country.

Use 「アクセス」 when talking about getting to a place, especially by public transport; 参入 is really about entering a marketplace or launching into a market, and matches 'access' only marginally.
