Train system in Kyoto may be complicated for you. There are three types of railway, JR, Kyoto City Subway and Private company’s railways. Actually it’s a key to travel in Kyoto smoothly and avoid wasting your valuable time. Of course city of Kyoto has city wide bus service. But during peak season, bus service runs behind the schedule sometimes due to traffic congestion.
And also, there are many types of deals, such as ICOCA, Kansai Thru Pass, JR Pass, Kansai Area Pass, Kyoto city pass. Each pass has different conditions. You have to understand which train system is covered by your pass.
In this post, I tell you about using these deals and explain all train systems in Kyoto.
- Which train services that are covered by ICOCA, Kansai Thru Pass and other JR deals
- For the travellers who use ICOCA, Kansai one pass, Suica, Pasmo or other IC cards
- For the travellers who use Kansai Thru Pass
- JR Pass, Kansai Area Pass, Kansai WIDE Area Pass, Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass, Sanyo Sanin Area Pass, Kansai Hokuriku Area Pass, Hokuriku Arch Pass
- Kyoto Sightseeing One and Two-day Pass Card and Kyoto subway pass
- How to access to major spots in Kyoto by train
Which train services that are covered by ICOCA, Kansai Thru Pass and other JR deals
Many deals are available in Kansai area. But each pass have different coverage. I tell you about major passes and deals.
For the travellers who use ICOCA, Kansai one pass, Suica, Pasmo or other IC cards
You can take all trains on the map above except Shinkansen and Sagano Scenic Railway. When you travel in Kansai area, don’t try to take Shinkansen for such a short transfer. Please see the post below to find more information:
Regarding Sagano Scenic Railway, it is not a public transportation but an attraction. This is the reason why it is not covered by any rail pass.
By the way, ICOCA does not cover Kyoto city bus service either. In sometimes 2014, Kyoto city bus will accept ICOCA.
For the travellers who use Kansai Thru Pass
Please see the map below:
You can go anywhere in city of Kyoto. Most of places can be accessed by train. And this pass covers Kyoto City Bus too. Bus services cover all part of city of Kyoto. If you access from Osaka (Umeda) to Kyoto station, you cannot get a direct transfer by this pass. This is only things that you may care.
JR Pass, Kansai Area Pass, Kansai WIDE Area Pass, Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass, Sanyo Sanin Area Pass, Kansai Hokuriku Area Pass, Hokuriku Arch Pass
Please see the map below:
I wrote another post which focus on JR Pass and JR regional deals in the link below. You may find how much you can use JR Pass and JR regional deals in Kyoto. You can learn how to maximize using these passes:
Kyoto Sightseeing One and Two-day Pass Card and Kyoto subway pass
Please see the map below:
These deals cover Kyoto city subway lines. Kyoto city bus and Kyoto Bus (private bus company) are also covered by Kyoto Sightseeing one day and two day cards. If you will take bus, you can go almost anywhere in city of Kyoto. Only place where is not covered by this pass is Uji.
How to access to major spots in Kyoto by train
As I mentioned above, sometimes bus services are affected by heavy traffic. And there are too many lines of bus in city of Kyoto. You may be confused by too many choices. Therefore I recommend you to use train service as much as you can.
If you need more info about bus, you may be able to find it at Japan-Guide.com
Gion
You can get there by both Hankyu Railway and Keihan Railway. Hankyu’s Kawaramachi station is located 5 minutes away from Keihan’s Gion-Shijo staiton. There is Kamo river between these two stations. One of most popular market, Nishiki market is located bear Kawaramachi station. This area is one of the busiest area in Kyoto.
If you access from Osaka, take Hankyu if you stay in Umeda (JR Osaka station) and take Keihan if you stay in Namba or Shinsaibashi area. Yodoyabashi is connected by Osaka subway Midousuji line.
Kiyomizudera
Actually it’s a bit away from the station. But you can get there from Keihan’s Kiyomizu-Gojo station. The distance is 1.7 km and takes about 20 minutes.
Arashiyama
There are three stations, Hankyu, Randen and JR. Randen’s Arashiyama station is located in the heart of Arashiyama. But you will be okay with other two stations. JR’s Saga-Arashiyama station is about 15 minutes away from Randen’s Arashiyama station. Hankyu’s Arashiyama station is located at other side of Katsura river. Togetsu bridge connects these two stations.
If you get Arashiyama from Umeda, obviously Hankyu Railway is the best choice. But there is no direct train service from Umeda to Arashiyama. You have to transfer at Katsura.
If you get Arashiyama from Kyoto station or using JR deals, JR Sagano line is the best choice.
If you get Arashiyama from Gion and Kawaramachi area, I recommend you to take Hankyu to Omiya and transfer to Randen. Randen is not very well known. This rail service is like street car and it runs on the street at some part of this line. This 20 minutes ride will be nice experience in your Kyoto visit. Hankyu’s Omiya station is located underground and Randen’s Shijo-Omiya station is on the ground. But it’s just cross the road and only 3 minutes away.
If you stay in Sanjo area and get Arashiyama, take subway to Uzumasa-Tenjingawa station and transfer to Randen. Randen-Tenjingawa station is located on the ground and subway’s station is underground. But it’s same place.
Kinkakji (Golden Pavilion)
It can be accessed from randen’s Kitano-Hakubaicho station on foot. It takes about 20 nminutes. Of course you can catch the bus at Kitano-Hakubaicho station. It is three bus stops away from Kinkakuji and takes about 5 minutes.
If you access there from Arashiyama, Randen is a good choice. But if you get there from Gion, Kyoto station and other places, Randen is considerable. You have to change the train at Katabiranotsuji. It takes about 30 minutes from both Shijo-Omiya and Arashiyama. But Kinakakuji can be accessed by direct bus from many places in Kyoto. Even though I consider traffic, bus service may be faster than Randen. And also Kinkakuji can be accessed from subway’s Kitaoji staion by bus. If you get there from Kyoto station and Gion, this route is the fastest.
Nijo castle
The nearest station is subway’s Nijojo staton. But you can access there from JR Nijo station too. So you can choose the trains by you pass/deal.
Fushimi Inari
It can be accessed by both JR and Keihan. JR’s Inari station is the nearest station. But Keihan’s station is only 5 minutes away from the shrine. You can choose it by your pass/deals.
If you combine this place with Nara, JR’s Inari station is on the way to Nara.
Uji
It is not located in city of Kyoto. So you cannot get there by city bus.
Both JR and Keihan can take you there. The biggest spot, Byodoin is located between JR Uji and Keihan’s Uji stations. It take about 10 minutes from both stations.
If you get there from Osaka, Keihan Railway is the best choice. But there is no direct train to Uji from Yodoyambashi. You have to change the trains at Chushojima.
Kyoto subway line goes to Rokujizo station. This is located at same place as JR’s Rokujizo station. You can change the trains very easily there. But Keihan’s Rokujizo station is a bit away from subway/JR stations. So if you access there from the heart of Kyoto, subway and JR combination is a good choice too.
Comments
Hi mr takeshi
Thank you for elaborating so much on the different transportation in kyoto. I have been doing some research myself too but i still couldnt decide which deal is the best for my itinerary.
I will be coming to kyoto for 4d3n from tokyo with a JR Pass Trip, will be leaving kyoto to osaka in the morning on the 4th day. Below is my itinerary, i am deciding whether should i buy the bus pass only for two days , or the train+ bus pass(1day/2day? Should i just buy 1 day and reaarange my itinerary to save cost?) not sure if it is even necessary or should i just use my IC card to pay for single ride price ( not sure how much?)since majority site have a JR station closeby.
Day 1 – tokyo > kyoto ( kyoto station JR) > hostel ( nishioji station JR ) > kinkakuji temple > nijo castle > fushimi inari > nishiki market > gion hanami koji dori
Day 2 – arashiyama bamboo forest > tenryuji temple – kiyomizu dera > gion > yasaka shrine
Day 3 – day trip to nara ( JR ) – UJI (JR) – back to kyoto (JR)
Day 4 – osaka ( JR)
Hi Jenny,
You may use one day bus pass on day 1 only. You will take a bus more than three times a day on this day. When you take a train, you can use IC card, such as Suica, Kansai one pass.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/what-is-ic-card-suica-icoca-pasmo-how-to-use-these-cards.html
On day 2, 3 and 4, just use IC card. You will not take a bus more than 3 times a day on day 2.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com

Hi Takeshi-san,
My family & I will be in Osaka from 1-8 Dec.
We will be staying near Nippombashi Station and Tanimachi Kyuchome Station.
Could you help advise me on below :
1) Which pass to buy for Kansai Airport to the station mentioned above? Can the pass also use for train travel within Osaka?
2) During our stay, we will make 1-day trip each to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe. What pass should we buy?
3) In Kyoto, we wanted to visit Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari-Taisha and Arashiyama.
a. Which one should we visit first based on the train route?
b. We intend to visit Arashiyama via Sagano Scenic Railway, where can we get the tickets and how much does it cost?
c. We could also like to drop by Okuto to try out the famous Go Go Curry . How should we get there?
Thank you so much!
Hi JL san,
1. Yokoso Osaka Pass is the best choice:
https://jprail.com/sample-itineraries/airport-access/kansai-kix/how-to-choose-the-deals-for-access-tofrom-kansai-airport.html
But there are some more deals available in Osaka. Please also look a link below too.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-choose-the-best-train-pass-for-sightseeing-in-osaka.html
2. Kansai thru pass is recommended:
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-use-kansai-thru-pass-compare-pass-and-single-fare.html
3a. It depends on the departure time of Sagano scenic railway. If you book a seat in the morning train, you have to go Arashiyama first. Otherwise Fushimi is first. Nijo is located in the middle:
3b. Please see the link below:
http://www.sagano-kanko.co.jp/en/josyaken.php
3c. It’s not Okuto but Okubo. You have to take Kintetsu Railway from Kyoto to Okubo.
http://gogocurry.main.jp/english/public_html/shop_2001.html
If you go to Arashiyama first, you can visit there for dinner after Fushimi. If you go to Fushimi, you can visit at the end for dinner because Fushimi is the nearest point in your trip.
You can take Keihan railway from Fushimi Inari to Tanbaguchi and then transfer to Kintetsu railway at Kintetsu Tanbauchi for Okubo. Tanbaguchi and Kintetsu Tanbaguchi are same location.

Thank you so much Takeshi-san. This is so helpful!
Sorry, I have another question – if we buy a 3-day Kansai Thru Pass for travel from Osaka to Kyoto/Nara/Kobe, then we don’t have to buy Nara Access ticket and Kobe Access ticket?
Hi JL san,
No. those are not required. Nara Access ticket and Kobe Access ticket are for Kansai airport to Nara or Kobe one way ticket. Those are not for round trip sightseeing tickets.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
May I know if I can use the Kansai Thru Pass to travel to Kobe Arima Onsen?
Thanks
Hi JL,
Yes, you can.

Hi Takeshi san,
Can you teach me the steps and best way to take the train from Shinsaibashi Station to Kyoto Station?
My hostel is 10 mins walk to Shinsaibashi station.
My check out time is 12pm and i will be carrying one luggage bag while walking to Shinsaibashi Station.
My hostel in Kyoto is at Shimogyo-ku Nishiyaoyacho 152, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto and from Google map it is about 15 mins walk from Kyoto station. Thanks!!
Hi Jessica san,
You can take subway Midousuji line from Shinsaibashi to Umeda. Umeda is same place as JR Osaka station. You can take JR train from Osaka to Kyoto.

Hi Chin,
You can use Kansai one pass and Haruka for day 1.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-visitors/icoca-and-haruka-ticket-very-flexible-and-good-deal-for-tourist-who-stay-in-kansai.html
You can use Kansai one pass when you need to take train in Kyoto. And add one day bus pass for each day for bus ride:
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-choose-the-best-train-pass-for-sightseeing-in-kyoto.html
For trip to Nara, Kobe, and to KIX, you may use Kansai thru pass:
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-use-kansai-thru-pass-compare-pass-and-single-fare.html
Just use Kansai one pass for Kyoto to Osaka.
For staying in Osaka, please see the link below to find the deal:
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-choose-the-best-train-pass-for-sightseeing-in-osaka.html
I think it’s tight to visit USJ, Umeda in half day. If you can, try to leave Kyoto in the morning.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
Good day to you Mr Takeshi,
Thanks for your recommendation and reply.
1) Kansai One Pass can only be purchased in japan? will it be able to make reservation online like ICOCA? (my purpose is trying to save up some cash in japan)
2) From Osaka back to KIX, can i purchase Haruka instead of using kansai thru pass?
3) For the days i spend in Osaka city area, which card is sufficient for travelling around osaka town ? Osaka amazing pass/ Kansai thru pass / Kansai one pass
Regards,
Chin
Hi Chin,
1. You cannot purchase either ICOCA or Kansai one pass online. You can book it if you purchase one of these as ICOCA and Haruka. But it’s booking only. You have to make a payment upon arrival.
2. If you want, you can do it. But you will stay in Hommachi. There is no JR stations. If you use Haruka, you have to pay for subway to get Tennoji. If you use Kansai thru pass, you can take subway to get Namba and then take Nankai railway. It’s totally up to you.
3. I think Kansai one pass is okay. Because you will visit a few places a day. Subway pass may work just for downtown. Subway does not cover Cup noodle, Nifrel, Expo. You have to use Kansai one pass to get these places anyway.
Cheers,

Thanks for your help. Really appreciate.
Hi Doi san,
You can use Kansai area pass one day for day 1.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-visitors/how-to-use-jr-west-kansai-area-pass-compare-pass-and-single-fare.html
You may add Kyoto city bus pass as you need.

For day 2, please see the link below to find the deal. You have to make sure which place in Osaka you will visit before you choose the deal:

Good day Mr Takeshi san.
Thanks for you reply.
After I doing little bit research, i changed little bit on my iti.
Day 1
kix – arashiyama
arashiyama – nijo castle
nijo – inari
inari-kyoto station.
day 2
kyoto station – kiyomizu dera
kiyomizu-gion area
gion-kyoto station area
day 3
visit osaka and overnight at kix
day 4
return home
my question:
for day 1
should I use kansai area pass or kyoto access pass + single fare basis for other rails? Which one is more cheaper?
for day 2
should i purchase any pass or use single fare ticket for any rails?
for day 3
should I purchase osaka amazing pass nankai expansion or just use single fare basis to osaka and kix
Thanks for your helps. Really apreciate.
Hi Doi san,
For day 1, I recommend you Kansai area pass because you can take Limited Express Haruka to get Kyoto directly. You can access to all places in day 1 by this pass too.
For day 2, I don’t think you need any deals. You can take a bus for Kyoto to Kiyomizudera and Gion to Kyoto. You can walk from Kiyomizudera to Gion. There are lots of temples and shops along Kiyomizudera to Gion.
For day 3, single ticket and amazing pass Nankai version is okay.
Cheers,

Hi,
I intend to stay in Kyoto only for 5 days. Will JR pass be enough to cover all those tourist spot?
Thanks
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
No. JR covers only Arashiyama, Nijo, Fushimi Inari and Uji. You have to take a bus to get other places. All day bus pass is sold at 500 yen. It’s recommended to add on JR pass.

Hi, I would like advise about my Kyoto itinerary. I am visiting Kyoto for 2 days, staying at a hotel near the Kyoto Zoo. Is this plan an efficient way of traveling:
Day 1:
Osaka Shinsabaishi to Kyoto Bamboo forest
Bamboo forest to Gion
Gion to hotel
Day 2:
Kyoto Zoo
Downtown (is this the same area as Gion or a separate area? Should this be in Day 1)?
Inari shrine
Back to Osaka
Could you advise the subway route I should take to move from place to place? I am very confused. Thanks!
Hi Tan,
Your route is the following:
Shinsaibashi (subway) Umeda (Hankyu railway) Arashiyama (Randen / Keifuku railway) Omiya (Hankyu railway) Kawaramachi/Gion-Shijo (Keihan railway) Sanjo (City bus) Kyoto zoo
Kyoto zoo (city bus) Kyoto station (JR Nara line) Fushimi-Inari (Keihan railway) Yodoyabashi (Subway) Shinsaibashi
Your plan is okay. Kyoto has two downtown cores, Gion and JR Kyoto station.
There is no deals to cover whole part of the route. Kansai one pass gives you convenience. It does not give your any discount but you don’t need to purchase a ticket one by one. You can use this for taking all trains and buses.

Hi,
We are arriving Osaka on 27 May.
Our plan is to stay 3 nights in Osaka, then 6 nights in Kyoto.
While in Kyoto, we plan to visit Nara, Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari. The rest will be within Kyoto visiting Gion, Kinkaju temple, Kiyomizudera temple…
Do you think we are staying too long in Kyoto?
What pass should we buy?
Kansai Thru Pass (how many days) Will it cover the Osaka-Kyoto train?
We are staying at:
Hearton Hotel Umeda in Osaka
Hotel Keihan Kyoto Grande in Kyoto
We will be taking the airport bus from Kyoto to Kansai airport on departure date. This is doable, right?
Thank you,
Angeli
Hi Angeli,
I think you need city deals in Kyoto and Osaka. Please see the links below:

I don’t think you can get the worth of Kansai thru pass. Single ticket is okay for Osaka to Kyoto and trip to Nara. If you want use it, you need to do one more trip outside Osaka and/or Kyoto, such as Kobe, Koyasan. But these places are easier to get from Osaka than Kyoto. You will stay in Kyoto for 6 nights. It may be too long. But some of travelers love staying in Kyoto for a long time. It totally depends on you.
