After Part – 1

The Orientation of the Kyoto:
Architecturally the Kyoto is one of the most beautiful city in the world but the Kyoto was originally designed long before from the present time. The Chinese capital Chang’an (Xi’an in present days) decided to copy the planners of the Kyoto way back to the 794 and a grid pattern adopt, in the city core to this days which persists. Numbered the streets west to east, up north with Ichijo-dori means ‘First Street’ and down south Jujo-dori means ‘Tenth Street’, but to the names of the north-south streets there is no obvious pattern.

Get in the Kyoto: 
 

By the plane -
Its own airport the Kyoto does not have, but by the Osaka’s two airport rather is served. Between the two cities there is an excellent railway network and road network.

From the Kansai to Kyoto
By the train –
Into Kansai International Airport can fly the visitors and to Kyoto then get a train. Opposite the arrival lobby is located the Kansai Airport Station where can be caught the Japanese Rail (JR) West Haruka Kansai Airport Limited Express Train. The visitors have to buy a one day JR West Kansai Area Pass and the Haruka Limited Express take (tickets only non-reserved), from the airport to get the Kyoto this is the best and fastest way. About 77 minutes takes the Haruka Limited Express, every 30 to 60 minutes with trains leaving. For the foreigners only the pass and ¥2,000 cost the visitors, from the airport to Kyoto which is ¥980 what is less than a regular ticket of Haruka Limited Express. Your passport you will need to show, of your foreign bound return flight as well as a copy, a ticket when purchasing.

The ICOCA and HARUKA discount ticket that the JR recently started to offer is the another option, on the Haruka to Kyoto in unreserved seating which includes travel and within a designated ‘Free Zone’ in any JR station and containing ¥2,000 (which includes ¥500 deposit) a rechargeable ICOCA transit card on JR that can be used, also can be used in the Kansai region’s stores buses and railways. Cost ¥3,000 a one day discount ticket and costs ¥4,000 a round trip. Can be purchased online both of the above and at the train station of the Kansai Airport.

By the bus –
From the airport to the Kyoto Station runs comfortable limousine buses, an hour twice, along the way some of the major hotels stopping at. On way the ticket costs ¥2,500 and for the children it costs ¥1,250 or for round trip it costs ¥4,000. Outside of the airport’s arrival lobby on the first floor can be purchased the bus tickets. Through the ‘North gate’ when you leave customs just go straight. From bus stop #8 the buses leave, directly opposite of the ticket vending machine which is located. 88 minutes the ride takes but when there is traffic can take more time about 90 minutes to 135 minutes.
