#Osaka Transportation Guide
After visiting the World Expo, there was still one day left, so I decided to go straight to Kyoto! Sanqianyuan, recommended by countless people, is full of greenery, like a hidden paradise, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. June is the season when hydrangeas are in full bloom, and the vast sea of blue and purple flowers injects full summer vitality here! It is strongly recommended to set off early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the healing greenery 💚💚!
🚃 Osaka ⇄ Kyoto Sanzen-in Temple Transportation Guide
1. Tram + Bus:
◦ From Osaka Umeda Station, take the JR Kyoto Line to Kyoto Station (approximately 30 minutes).
◦ Transfer to Keihan Bus No. 88 at Kyoto Station and get off at Sanzen-in Station (approximately 50 minutes). It is a 3-minute walk from here.
2. Express trains:
◦ Take the Sagano Express train from Osaka Station to Kyoto Station, and then transfer to the bus to save time in the city.
3. Charter/rental car:
◦ Suitable for group travel or travelers seeking convenience, with direct access to attractions and flexible itinerary arrangements, but the cost is relatively high.
🌿 One-day selected routes
Sanzen-in Temple→Arashiyama Train→Bamboo Forest Trail→Tenryu-ji Temple→Togetsukyo Bridge→Shinsaibashi Bridge→Dotonbori
🍴 Attractions, food and special features
• Sanzen-in Temple: For lunch, we strongly recommend the tofu dishes at Kyomei Tea House or the soup leaf set meal at Rokawa Tea House to taste the most authentic Kyoto flavor.
• Sagano Train: A must-try in Arashiyama! Traveling along the railway tracks through the green mountains is like walking into the fairy tale world of Hayao Miyazaki.
• Bamboo forest path: the same scene as in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! The bamboo shadows sway in the backlight, and any shot you take is a masterpiece.
• Tenryuji Temple: A must-visit World Heritage ancient temple in Arashiyama, where Zen and nature blend perfectly.
• Togetsukyo Bridge: The filming location of the Conan movie “Crimson Love Letter”. Whether you are taking pictures of the reflection of the bridge or the distant mountains, it is super beautiful!
• Arashiyama Station Foot Bath: When you are tired of shopping, come here to soak in a Yufuin-style foot bath, paired with a small dessert, and instantly restore your energy!
• Shinsaibashi/Dotonbori: After returning to Osaka, head straight here to feast on okonomiyaki, takoyaki and other specialties!
