@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan are there lifts in all Keihan line stations from Yodoyabashi to Gion-Shijo? Is Kiyomizu Dera fully wheelchair accessible? I am also worried about Osaka-Namba Hanshin line as we will be making a day trip to Kobe-Sannomiya.

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

Hi! Almost all the stations in Kansai Area have lifts. Even if there's no elevator, station staff will help you. However, between Gion-Shijo Station and Kiyomizudera Temple there's a long slope. It may hard to push a wheelchair there, so you can take a taxi.😊

[@intanpradipta1478]

Hi Shiba-san, thank you so for the video this is very helpfull! I have a question: so for Keihan Limited Express, we can pay the train with ICOCA card (i.e., just simply tap in & tap out until we reach Kyoto)? Means, we don’t have to buy the ticket separately at the station or book the ticket beforehand? Hope this comment reaches you. Thanks again!☺️

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

Hi! Thank you for the comment. You can use ICOCA when you take the Keihan line. You don't have to purchase paper ticket and need not make a reservation in advacne. You can tap and go through the ticket gate with your ICOCA. But if you would like to take the "PREMIUM CAR," it is necesary purchasse a additional ticket at the counter ( 3:50 ). If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊

Thank you so much for the great and educative video 🙏 Me and my family will visit Osaka, then Kyoto in Spring.

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

Thanks for your comment. For this video I used a postpaid card called PiTaPa. This card is convenient as it does not need to be recharged, but it takes time to be issued as it needs to be linked to a bank account. That is why I recommend the ICOCA card, which can be bought immediately from a ticket machine. It can also be used via a smartphone app, although it needs to be charged in advance.😊

[@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan]

Hi! Thank you for the comment. 5:00 a.m. Osaka-Umeda Statioin ↓ Hankyu Main Line (Local) 5:55 a.m. Katsura Station 5:59 ↓ Hankyu Arashiyama Line (Local) 6:06 a.m. Arashiyama Station It is possible to visit Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu-dera in one day, but why not split it into two days to enjoy each place individually? Kinkaku-ji in particular is difficult to reach by public transport. Many people travel to Kinkaku-ji by bus from JR Kyoto Station, but these days buses are very crowded and you may have to wait at the bus stop for a long time. My recommendation is to visit the places in this video in one day and then spend another day visiting the less crowded temples in Kyoto, including Kinkakuji, as shown in the video linked below.😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6nOkJqEYqubq6c

Agree, however I don’t have much time this trip as I am travelling with my friend. I think after Arashiyma, I will just take taxi/uber to Kinkaku Ju. I went there in 2023 and remember having to take the bus… but I had more time then. Thanks for your input!
