I am planning a trip to Japan and the transit between Osaka and Kyoto is a part of my travel. I didn't knew that path between the two cities. I am thankful for your video.

@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)

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

[@guitar.travel]

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..

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

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 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!

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

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.

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 :)

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inyUiH-EqNJ9rrM 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]

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.
