FAQs
Q1: I live near Kyoto Station and want to go to Fushimi Inari, Tofukuji, and Uji. Is this ticket suitable?
A1: Not suitable. Kyoto Station does not have Keihan Electric Railway. So you would need to spend extra money to travel to Tofukuji or Fushimi Inari.
Calculating the total fare, it exceeds the cost of directly buying a JR ticket, so it is recommended to just buy a ticket.
