Kyoto

At Arashiyama station, we explored Kimono Forest. It was late and we were tired from the long day in Kyoto. We covered many things and went from East to West Kyoto.

It was time to head back. I lost these pictures when I merged them on my computer and thought they were all the same (idiot move!).  But we jumped on 3 systems to get back to JR Kyoto station.

Randen Arashiyama station is for the the Keifuku Randen tram system. The trams are Electric. The fare is a flat rate, I think of $2 or 220 yen. You can buy a ticket before or pay in change after.

These are historic and nostalgic since these are very few (I learned of only 2 tram lines left).

We started at Arashiyama station (A13) and needed to get Randen-Tenjingawa Station (A5).

After getting off at Randen-Tejingawa station, it is a small walk to Uzumasa-Tenjingawa station (operated by Kyoto Municipal Subway). While the tram is street level, once you get off, you’ll see a small building across the street that stands out because it is some kind of peach color. That is the subway entrance.

Here we boarded the Tozai line at Uzumasa-Tenjingawa Station (T17).

We would get off at Karasuma Oike Station (K8).

At this station, we would use the other subway train, Karasuma line.
