Pikachu represents Osaka. The blue aeroplane represents Kansai International Airport.
残念ですね as we were not able to explore Kansai AP due to rushing.
JR could take us to Kyoto but they would reach Kyoto station, which we might have to change train or taxi. As we were heading towards Omiya station, we opted for Nankai Rapit.
It took us around 2 hours to reach our hotel in Kyoto. Fortunately my homework paid off, it was not that difficult except for moving 3 big luggages with 2 tired children with few transfers, we missed the first transfer at Tengachaya. The Nankai train took us 3 more stop till Namba, so we had to reverse back, therefore wasting abit of time.
Missing stop means missing express train, hence wasting time. Either you have to use the limited express or the slowest Normal train. If you understand how to transfer to different type of train to cut back on number of stopping stations, you can save on time. With children kept asking for toilet, we missed few express train and therefore had to use Normal train. Either it came we skipped or waited for the next limited express. Fortunately we boarded the express train from Awaji to Omiya station that we finally caught up with our schedule.
Our hotel was easy to find. Walked out from the correct exit, turn right, walked for 1 min and we reached.
Left our luggages with the lobby and we headed out for Arashiyama. The Keifuku station was just opposite our hotel. The 京福嵐山电车 (ie. Randen) would take us from the first station to the last station in order to reach the beautiful Arashiyama.
