A. Transportation to Kyoto. Kyoto has no airport!

A1. From Kansai International Airport (KIX) to JR Kyoto station

A1-1. It is convenient to take a Haruka limited express train bound for Kyoto. Trains depart every 30 minutes in the morning and evening, with an average journey time of approximately 75 minutes.

After arriving at Kyoto station, proceed along the platform in the direction of your train, and you will find Karasuma central exit on the left-hand side.

A1-2. In the daytime, it may be more convenient to take an airport bus/coach from KIX to JR Kyoto Station. A timetable is here.

A2. From Tokyo--Narita (or Tokyo-Haneda) International Airport to JR Kyoto station by trains

By rail: Narita Express links Narita airport to Tokyo station, with an average journey time of approximately 60 minutes. Haneda and Tokyo station are linked by trains. From Tokyo station, Shinkansen Nozomi and Hikari superexpress trains frequently depart to Kyoto. The average journey time is 2.5 and 3 hours, respectively. We recommend you buy all train tickets at Narita airport in advance. The total fare for a one-way ticket will be 16,000 -- 18,000 yen (subject to change), including seat reservation. You can choose a non-smoking seat. Shinkansen platforms are located on the third floor of Kyoto station. After going down to the second floor, go out the Shinkansen central exit and walk to the north along a corridor. Then you will find bus stops on the right-hand side.
