I'm going to Japan this autumn season and planning to visit both Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine on the same day. Now it is clear to me how to go to these places using public transportation. Thank you for making such a detailed video! It is very informative!
@Shiba-shiba / Trains in Japan I've got a question for you. Since you live in Osaka, besides the trains, would you say biking around Osaka is safe? I wanted to do a bike ride from Osaka Aquarium to Osaka Maishima Seaside Park instead of going on the train (it would take an hour)
Thank you Shiba-Shiba. Again this is super helpful and very detailed. We will be visiting Kyoto from Osaka next month and this video just made things easy for me to plan and navigate our way to these destinations. You just gain a subscriber in me. Arigato Gozaimasu.
Hello! Thank you for subscribing. The number of tourists visiting Kyoto has been increasing recently, so the buses are really crowded. You might want to avoid using buses. I have made another video, which you can watch here. In the video I only use trains. ua-cam.com/video/y0-TKlX7teE/v-deo.html
We made it to Arashiyama via the Hankyu Line..... Looking at your vlogs gave me a better understanding and preparation for everything that i need to plan for my 10 days trip in Osaka and the surrounding area.... Totally a good experience and managed to pick up or found all the places, and locations in your vlog.... Amazing.... Keep up the good work.... I know the struggles of being a content creator such as one myself.... Gambatte Kudasaii..... Arigato gozaimasu..
Hi Shiba-Shiba... we are heading to Osaka Namba on May 22 to 27. Your videos are so informative. We hope we can have a photos taken with you during our stay . We will be happy if you notice my message. Thanks so much.

Hi Shiba-shiba, your vlog is very informative. A question, so you don't need to transfer from Osaka-Umeda to Katsura, right? Only need to transfer from Katsura to Arashiyama? Thank you
@@yeyeye3048 Hi! Thank you for the comment. Yes. You don’t have to transfer from Osaka-Umeda to Katsura. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊✨
Any sightings of sakura in kyoto, himeji and osaka? Went arashiyama and fushimi inari yesterday and was disappointed as no sakura/cherry blossoms in sight 😔.
Hi! This year the cherry blossoms seem to have bloomed later than usual. You can see the details of flowering time of cherry blossoms on the following website. tenki.jp/sakura/ (大阪…Osaka 京都…Kyoto)
Hi! I took a bus from Arashiyama-Tenryuji-mae bus stop. maps.app.goo.gl/jMk21NCXPAZp9Rhz7 It took about an hour due to traffic congestion. If you would like to save time, take the JR line from Saga-Arashiyama Station to Kyoto Station and ten minutes walk will take you to Keihan Shichijo Station. From there Gion-shijo Station is two stations further. This route takes less than half an hour. If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.
Hi Mr Shiba-Shiba found myself again in your very helpful vlog in getting to kyoto from namba. May I know if I can use Suica card in Subway and trains going to kyoto and buses in kyoto instead of buying physical 🎟️?
Hi Shiba-shiba, thank you for this video, can i ask for your advice? is taking Keihan express or Hankyu line better to go to Kyoto Hokanji temple from Nankai namba station? Would you kindly suggest the route to cover these places: -fushimi inari -kiyomizu dera temple -yasaka dori -arashiyama bamboo groove Will be departing from nankai namba station :)
Hi! I think the Keihan line is better. First of all, follow the route the video down below shows. Then, Kiyomizudera, Hokanji and Yasaka dori will be covered since they are located near Kiyomizugojo Station. ua-cam.com/video/TK1WLNsmJxQ/v-deo.html After visiting them, take the Keihan line from Kiyomizugojo Station to Fushimiinari Station. Note that Keihan Ltd. Exp. does not stop at Fushimiinari Station. To get to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, head to JR Inari Station, which is in the vicinity of Fushimi Inari Shrine and purchase a ticket to Saga-Arashiyama Station (240 JPY). The train will take you to Kyoto Station. At Kyoto Station, transfer to JR Sagano Line (Platform #32 or #33). From Saga-Arashiyama Station to Bamboo grove, follow the route the link below shows. maps.app.goo.gl/ZkGsp3bDHqWSkaRcA If you have any further questions, feel free to comment again.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan thank you so much for guiding, this is a very helpful. Can i know from nankai namba to kyoto, the shinkansen compare to keihan journey time is almost the same, but the price is double/triple - is this true
Yes. It's true, so few people use shinkansen to travel from Shin-osaka to Kyoto since the distance between Shin-Osaka and Kyoto is too short to use the Shinkansen. In addition, there are several less expensive and fast ways such as the Keihan, Hankyu and JR lines.
Hi! Thank you for your comment. The Hankyu Railway Company says in their website, "Passengers may carry up to two items in the train free of charge, each of which is not more than 2 metres in length and the maximum sum of the three sides is not more than 2.5 metres and weighs not more than 30 kilograms, provided that the train, etc. is operated in such a way that there is no risk of causing a transport hazard". So, Normal-sized suitcases can be brought into the train without any problems. If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😃
You are very welcome. Namba or Umeda is recommended. Both are adjacent to railroad terminal stations, so it is easy to move to various places. That is why my videos often start from Namba station.
Good day, Shiba-shiba-san! My family and I plan to leave Umeda at 6 AM to head to Arashiyama next week to avoid the crowd of tourists. Would just like to ask if it is alright to eat snacks like sandwiches on the Hankyu train from Umeda to Katsura station? Thank you!

Hi thank you for the information! I will be in Osaka next week, and Kyoto the week after. Is there any hope to see the cherry blossoms then? If yes, could you please suggest a few spots where I could view them? Thank you!
You are very welcome! The normal viewing period for cherry blossoms in Kyoto City is from late March to mid-April. According to the Japan Weather Association, in 2023, cherry blossoms in Kyoto City are expected to bloom on Wednesday, March 22, four days earlier than normal, and be in full bloom on Thursday, March 30, five days earlier than normal. Kiyomizudera (temple) is famous for cherry trees. www.kiyomizudera.or.jp/ However, you can see cherry trees all over Kyoto and Osaka during that period.

Thanks for very informative video Shiba-san.. I have a question, seeing there's many type of train there (local, semi express, sub express, express, rapid express, limited express, and rapid limited express), is 'how to buy the ticket' for all those type of train the same? because I don't see the option to choose for local/rapid/limited etc on the ticket vending machine..
Hello! In Kansai, the Hankyu, Keihan, Hanshin and Sanyo railway companies do not require express fares. This means that both limited express and other fares are the same. Therefore, when purchasing a ticket, there is no option for train types such as local, rapid or limited express. If you have any further questions, please feel free to comment.
Hi! It is possible to get to Kyoto even during the "Golden Week." However, it may be best to avoid using buses in Kyoto because the roads are very busy.
Thank you for your comment. Both stations are convenient to get there. Saga-Arashiyama Station is closer, but from Hankyu Arashiyama Station, you can cross the beautiful biride called Togetsukyo to reach the bamboo grove.
Hi! Large items of luggage, such as suitcases, can be carried on board the train. Nakai Rapi:t has a luggage strage. See the link below for details. ua-cam.com/video/8Tk7hDyIlBk/v-deo.html To go to Kyoto, I often use the KEIHAN Line or SHINKANSEN.

Hello Shiba-san! It's me again. Just want to know your top 3 sites that I must visit in Kyoto. I have a companion who could not walk for long distances so I want to know your thought about those places that are not far from each other. Again, I stayed near to Ebisucho station in Namba minami, what train line should I take going to Kyoto? TIA!
Hi. How about visiting Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi-Inari and Byodoin? The KEIHAN line covers these three places and they offer special sightseeing passes for visitors to Japan. See the link for details. www.keihan.co.jp/travel/en/trains/passes-for-visitors-to-japan/kyoto-osaka.html Ebisucho Station ↓ [Osaka Metro Sakaisuji line] ↓ Kitahama Station ↓ [KEIHAN main line] ↓ Kiyomizu-Gojo Station [visit Kiyomizu-dera] ↓ [KEIHAN main line] ↓ Fushimi-Inari Station [visit Fushimi-Inari Taisha] ↓ [KEIHAN main line] ↓ Chushojima Station ↓ [Keihan Uji line] ↓ Uji Station [visit Byodoin] ↓ Chushojima Station ↓ [Keihan main line] ↓ back to Osaka If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan hello Shiba. Glad you have provided this route. Gonna try this if we have time. On the other hand, we're planning just to take the sightseeing train from Osaka to Kyoto and then just explore the Train museum in Kyoto and the imperial palace if the stairs are not that high 😀. Thank you again.
Hello. Recently, more and more travelers visit Kyoto. Expect early in the morining, it is very crowded, so patience is necessary. Buses are convenient but time-consuming, so it is better to go around the places that can be reached by train.
Hi! How about this route? It's the easiest way. goo.gl/maps/2YLxEu3yGU4EyYey8 This bus arrives in front of Kyoto station, however to avoid a congestion hot sopt you might want to get off at Karasuma-shichijo bus stop and walk to Kyoto station. If you have any questions, feel free to comment again.
Hi! I don't think you need to purchase the "pass" ticket. The train fare in Osaka and Kyoto areas is not so expensive. For example, the fare between Umeda and Arashiyama stations is only 410 JPY.😊
You're very welcome. Having an IC card such as ICOCA saves the hassle of buying a ticket at each station. apps.apple.com/jp/app/icoca%E3%82%A2%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA/id6444271546 support.apple.com/en-us/120474

This video is absolutely ridiculous. In other words, I arrive at Umeda Station, consult an unreadable map and, as if by magic, I discover that for Kyoto, I have to buy a 400 yen ticket. After that I didn't watch anything else in the video. I was enlightened! Very intuitive and easy.... Mr Shiba, for a foreigner, your video is simply... useless

-kiyomizu dera temple

-arashiyama bamboo groove

After visiting them, take the Keihan line from Kiyomizugojo Station to Fushimiinari Station. Note that Keihan Ltd. Exp. does not stop at Fushimiinari Station.
To get to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, head to JR Inari Station, which is in the vicinity of Fushimi Inari Shrine and purchase a ticket to Saga-Arashiyama Station (240 JPY).

@ thank you for the response. I will be staying near namba osaka station so it seems like easier to get onto the hankyu line correct?
@@shariereyes2454 Yes. It is also cheaper to use the Hankyu than the Shinkansen.😊
Thanks for very informative video Shiba-san.. I have a question, seeing there's many type of train there (local, semi express, sub express, express, rapid express, limited express, and rapid limited express), is 'how to buy the ticket' for all those type of train the same? because I don't see the option to choose for local/rapid/limited etc on the ticket vending machine..
Hello! In Kansai, the Hankyu, Keihan, Hanshin and Sanyo railway companies do not require express fares. This means that both limited express and other fares are the same. Therefore, when purchasing a ticket, there is no option for train types such as local, rapid or limited express. If you have any further questions, please feel free to comment.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan got it, thanks again for the explanation
You’re very welcome.😊✨
I plan to kyoto on 5 may sat golden week to kyoto for 3 days. Pls advise if feasible to travel to kyoto during golden week. Thank you
Hi! It is possible to get to Kyoto even during the "Golden Week." However, it may be best to avoid using buses in Kyoto because the roads are very busy.
Hi shiba san may i know the famous bamboo forest you need to get down in saga arashiyama or arashiyama (hankyu line ) ?
Thank you for your comment. Both stations are convenient to get there. Saga-Arashiyama Station is closer, but from Hankyu Arashiyama Station, you can cross the beautiful biride called Togetsukyo to reach the bamboo grove.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan Thanks for the reply ! I may take the train to hankyu arahiyama for next visit to kyoto then .
My pleasure. Please feel free to comment again.😊
Tjank you! Pls advise if luggages allowed on train? How to travel from namba station to kyoto.
Hi!
Large items of luggage, such as suitcases, can be carried on board the train.
Nakai Rapi:t has a luggage strage. See the link below for details.

To go to Kyoto, I often use the KEIHAN Line or SHINKANSEN.

Hello Shiba-san! It's me again. Just want to know your top 3 sites that I must visit in Kyoto. I have a companion who could not walk for long distances so I want to know your thought about those places that are not far from each other. Again, I stayed near to Ebisucho station in Namba minami, what train line should I take going to Kyoto? TIA!
OK. I'll think of a good plan. Please wait.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan thank you for taking time to reply 😇
Hi. How about visiting Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi-Inari and Byodoin? The KEIHAN line covers these three places and they offer special sightseeing passes for visitors to Japan. See the link for details.

@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan hello Shiba. Glad you have provided this route. Gonna try this if we have time. On the other hand, we're planning just to take the sightseeing train from Osaka to Kyoto and then just explore the Train museum in Kyoto and the imperial palace if the stairs are not that high 😀. Thank you again.
That’s nice! I love Kyoto Railway Museum!😁
Hi, would you tell us when is the least crowded time to visit kyoto?
Hello. Recently, more and more travelers visit Kyoto. Expect early in the morining, it is very crowded, so patience is necessary. Buses are convenient but time-consuming, so it is better to go around the places that can be reached by train.
Hi Shiba-shiba san. Can i know the ways to transfer from kiyomizudera temple to kyoto station. Thank you.
Hi! How about this route? It's the easiest way.

This bus arrives in front of Kyoto station, however to avoid a congestion hot sopt you might want to get off at Karasuma-shichijo bus stop and walk to Kyoto station.

Добрый день Шиба.Что за сладости кушаете? ❤👍👍❤🎋🎋
На видео я ел клубничный дайфуку.
Can I use Icoca card for all trips?
@@SharonOng-e9z Yes, you can.😊✨
Thank you for your prompt reply. By the way, Icoca card is also accepted for Nankai airport express train?
Yes. You can use ICOCA.😊
Is it cheaper to buy tickets every ride or to have the "pass".
I don't know what pass to get and i'm confused
Hi! I don't think you need to purchase the "pass" ticket. The train fare in Osaka and Kyoto areas is not so expensive. For example, the fare between Umeda and Arashiyama stations is only 410 JPY.😊
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan thank you so much shiba-shiba san. ☺️
You're very welcome. Having an IC card such as ICOCA saves the hassle of buying a ticket at each station.

This video is absolutely ridiculous. In other words, I arrive at Umeda Station, consult an unreadable map and, as if by magic, I discover that for Kyoto, I have to buy a 400 yen ticket. After that I didn't watch anything else in the video. I was enlightened! Very intuitive and easy.... Mr Shiba, for a foreigner, your video is simply... useless
Thank you so much for watching this useless video to the end. There is one point in your comment that concerns me. What makes it ‘very intuitive and easy’? Please elaborate.
