Haruka Express Train
From museums to aquariums in Kyoto!
The easiest way to get from Kansai International Airport to Kyoto without complicated transfers is to take the Haruka Limited Express! Enjoy the spacious and comfortable seats and the tranquil scenery outside, and you'll arrive in Kyoto before you know it.
The Kyoto Railway Museum , which is given together with a one-way ticket to the Haruka Limited Express, is a place where you can experience the history and technology of the railway. It is one of the Kyoto tourist attractions that many tourists visit as you can get a glimpse of over 100 years of history. The Kyoto Aquarium is Japan's first artificial seawater aquarium, and you can see a variety of marine life such as dolphin shows, jellyfish, and sea turtles, making it a great place to appreciate the beauty of nature.
We hope you can complete your enjoyable Kyoto trip with a package product that is about 1,000 yen cheaper than purchasing the Haruka Ticket and individual admission tickets.
