BESTFirst of all, I am satisfied. I strongly recommend the Randen train, but I do not recommend the Kyoto subway, so I give it 4 points. Just buy an Icoca transportation card and take the bus.

Why we recommend the Randen train
There are several ways to get from Kyoto to the final destination, Irashiyama Station, but I highly recommend taking the Randen train. The reason is that you can fully feel the romance of the travel destination on the way to Arashiyama!
Randen train route information
The Landen Train is a vintage tram with a long history that has been in operation since 1910. Currently, it operates on a route from Shijo-Omiya Station to Arashiyama Station. There are two types of Randen trains: purple trains and gold trains. They move slowly, making them great for viewing the scenery outside the window.
