アクセス情報

Kyoto Station is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Tokyo by Shinkansen, and about 30 minutes from Osaka. Getting around the city is convenient using city buses and subways. Renting a bicycle is also recommended.

旅のヒント

  • Save money on travel by using a one-day pass for city buses and subways
  • We recommend visiting temples and shrines first thing in the morning (most open between 8:30 and 9:00)
  • Walking around town in a rented kimono makes for great photos
  • Ohara, Kurama, and Kifune, which are far from Kyoto Station, are also attractive.
  • Many restaurants require reservations for shojin ryori and kyo-kaiseki cuisine

撮影のコツ

Fushimi Inari Shrine's Thousand Torii Tunnel

A mysterious tunnel created by countless vermilion torii gates. The beautiful contrast of light and shadow, and the seemingly endless rows of torii gates create a fantastical world.
