Kyoto travel essentials
Randen 1-day ticket
Complete your Kyoto trip with a one-day pass that allows unlimited use of Randen Train's Arashiyama Main Line and Kitano Line all day long. The Randen Train is a type of tram train that runs around Arashiyama, Kyoto. It is used by many tourists as it allows you to enjoy the scenery of Kyoto while traveling a distance of about 2.4km.
The 2024 Randen 1-day pass introduced this time is a pass with a unique concept that follows in the footsteps of Murasaki Shikibu and Seishonagon, famous writers of the Heian period in Japan. It also comes with special benefits, so grab it!
Leaving on Randen
One day Kyoto trip
With the Randen 1-day pass, which is completely covered in purple, you can enjoy unlimited use of the Arashiyama Main Line, which runs from Kyoto Shijo-Omiya Station to Arashiyama Station, and the Kitano Line, which runs from Toei Studio Studio Mae Station, a famous movie studio, to Kitano Hakubaicho!
It takes about 24 minutes from Shijo-Omiya Station to Arashiyama, and about 15 minutes from Shijo-Omiya Station to Toei Uzumasa Film Village, so I recommend it because you can take a Randen to see various nearby tourist attractions.
