How to get from Osaka Airport to Kyoto
The cheapest and most convenient way to take a bus from ◎Kansai International Airport (KIX) (闋西国際空港) to Kyoto Station is to buy a Haruka ticket, but if you take this bus directly brush Icoca into and out of the station to spend more than 3,300 yen with my approach to buy tickets for as little as 1,600 yen cheaper by half!
How to buy tickets
From Osaka Kansai Airport, you can find the JR Ticket Office in Figure 1 (it’s easy to find and see). Show your Icoca card and tell the ticket agent to go to Haruka, Kyoto Station. It’s super easy but many people don’t know! The point is that you must find this ticket office! And be sure to bring your Icoca card! It will be fine!

The most time and money saving transportation from Osaka to Kyoto
From Shinzabashi entrance #2, take the Yutonjin – Shin-Osaka line, after 6 stops (about 15 minutes), go through Nakajima West End – Shin-Osaka – Nakaten – Nakagin – Nanbu, then leave the station at entrance #5 and follow the directional signs for the Zha Jr line to turn around from East.
Take the elevator to the third floor with your luggage friend, then swipe your watermelon card to enter the station. 5-6 entrance is Jr Kyoto line, screen. It will prompt: normal white new fast and fast yellow, I choose: new fast Hozai line through Denghe will stop at 2 stations in Kyoto. Stop at Takapun (Tamari-dobu) ~ Kyoto, I got on at 10:20, but Kyoto arrived at 10:44, almost 22 minutes, and the cost was 570 yen. It really saves money and the time is fast. Kyoto is a city worth slowing down. I like it here.
Slow transportation from Osaka to Kyoto – trains and buses
Osaka, known as the “kitchen of the world,” and Kyoto, both ancient and healthy, are Japan’s most popular twin cities of light. Usually, when they travel west, they travel together in three cities. How can their transportation roads make their travels more enjoyable?
There are four tips of transportation to Osaka and Kyoto together, which are:
1, the fastest —- Shinkansen
If you have a “JR PASS”, then the Shinkansen is the best way to get around. However, please note that you cannot take “Nozomi” with JR PASS.
Since Osaka and Kyoto are very close to each other, the Shinkansen is about 15-30 minutes faster than the regular Tumo Road, but the price is nearly 1000 yen, so there is no need to take the Shinkansen if you don’t have a JR pass.
