When going to Kyoto for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, if the planned itinerary is the main popular attractions in the city of Kyoto, you can buy a 500 yen bus one-day ticket every day, you can save the land and visit the popular attractions, at most with the MRT. Fast transfer.However, if you can't be satisfied with the popular attractions in the city and want to explore other attractions in the suburbs, you have to rely on private railways, buses and other means of transportation!
Arriving in Kyoto for maple viewing. After the first wave of rushing to popular attractions, the second wave began to go to the suburbs to dig out maple viewing spots that have not been visited in the past. This is definitely the main pleasure of free travel. It also means that you have to do more homework, pay attention Traffic route and time planning.At this time, the preferential package of transportation options will come in handy at this time. The second wave of itinerary to the suburbs to enjoy the maple leaves, because it has escaped from the service scope of public MRT and buses, which are mainly public transportation. The Kansai Amazing Pass, which covers private railways and bus routes, is used. It can only be said that private railways and bus routes are really the best helpers for discovering Japanese attractions.
Two days and two nights simple itinerary
★ Day XNUMX: Get up → Subway → Hankyu Kyoto Line → Hankyu Bus → Somotoyama Komoji Temple → Hankyu Bus → Nagaoka Tenmiya Palace → Hankyu Bus → Hankyu Kyoto Line → Subway → Hotel → Subway → Kyoto City Bus → Eikando Zenrinji →Kyoto City Bus → Honka Yakiniku Restaurant → Taxi → Hotel

The second wave of the two-day maple viewing itinerary mainly uses the Kansai Excursion Card, which uses the subway and private railway transportation routes to go to the maple viewing spots in the southwest and northeast of Kyoto, so as to discover scenic spots far away from the downtown area of Kyoto, with fewer tourists , Can better understand the scenery of various scenic spots in detail.Next, let's explain in detail the transportation mode and itinerary planning content of each scenic spot.
Attractions Sharing and Transportation Introduction
To Nagaoka: Hotel (get up) → Kansai Freepass → Subway (Kujo Station K12 → Shijo Station K09) → Hankyu Kyoto Line (Karasuma Station → Nagaoka Tenjin Station) → McDonald's (Breakfast) → Hankyu Bus 20, 22 System (Hankyu Nagaoka) Tenjin → Asahi Okayama front) → Somotoyama Kwangji Temple
Itinerary description: This itinerary purchases a three-day Kansai Freepass that does not need to be used for consecutive days. After a few days ago, the Osaka Minoh Maple Appreciation Itinerary was not implemented, and it was used for the second time.The Kansai Amazing Pass mainly covers public subway MRT and private railways and buses. It is quite suitable for this maple viewing itinerary that uses subways and private railways and buses.Since it is said that it is a maple-viewing spot in the suburbs, the itinerary should be planned carefully and the traffic time should be considered. Give yourself more time!
Choosing a hotel close to the subway has the advantage of not only choosing to take the MRT, but also the advantage of bus routes and stop signs connecting to the MRT.The transportation to Guangming Temple is a little more complicated, but the MRT, railway, and buses can still be connected seamlessly. In response to the peak sightseeing season, Kyoto will also provide many temporary buses. You can pay attention to it.Also, when taking the Hankyu bus to Kwangmyeongji, remember to get under the stop sign "旭が丘ホーム前" instead of under the stop sign "Gwangmyeongji". Don't be misled by the name of the stop sign!The official website of Guangming Temple also provides explanatory materials.

Itinerary description: Take the Hankyu bus and get off at the stop sign "Asahi Chikayama", walk straight ahead for a while, and you will arrive at the entrance of Guangming Temple.Guangming Temple's red leaves attractions are getting more and more famous, so during the period of red leaves in full bloom, the temple will arrange traffic lines for viewing the maple, and tourists can follow the directions indicated by the signs.You can see its carefulness from the route planning. The hiking trails and temple visits are arranged in the first half, and there is a small market in the middle that sells all kinds of goods and food. The real SONY advertising-certified red leaf trail is arranged in the final stage, so it can be avoided. There was a big traffic jam at the beginning, and it was effective in dispelling the crowds. It's really a meticulous operation!

Itinerary description: After spending half a day at the very well-photographed Guangming Temple, return to Nagaoka Tenjin according to the original plan, and transfer to other routes to the Zhanfeng Temple, but the transfer location is very close to Nagaoka Tenmangu, so I walked closer to Tenmangu. By the way, the tour waits for an opportunity to forage.After a morning maple viewing trip at the popular Guangming Temple, this time I enter the vast Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine. The tourists are quite sparse but people like it more. I like the tranquility that comes after the excitement, but in the sky. It was a long time in the palace.
Tenmangu Palace has high-end Japanese cuisine ─ Jinshui Pavilion, and there is also a fairly affordable small restaurant ─ Sharlon Anniversary Counter, which can provide wedding, adult and graduate-style activities and dining venues, and usually provide Simple Western-style meals are a random surprise.Tenman Temple occupies a vast area. Even if you didn’t finish it all, it took a lot of time. When I was ready to go to Shanfeng Temple, I found out that the bus station timetable had exceeded the operating hours, so I had to stop thinking and head back to the hotel. rest.

Itinerary description: Returning to the hotel in the evening to rest is to prepare for the night rush to the night maple, and also to thicken your clothes. During the maple season, Kyoto sometimes has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. If the location of the hotel is convenient, it is good to return to the hotel in the evening. Idea, you don’t have to hold heavy clothes during the day.I also visited the Nanzen Temple area. The Eikando I visited this time was closer to the bus stop, so I went to Kyoto Station and took the city bus. For several important temples in downtown Kyoto, the bus stop signs will be directly highlighted in large fonts. Come out, so that visitors can sit at ease.
From Eikando, you can take a bus to Shijo Kawaramachi. Kawaramachi is a lively shopping place. Many bus routes pass through here. It is also the location of the privately-owned Hankyu Kyoto Main Line terminal, Kawaramachi Station.Therefore, using the Kansai Excursion Card can take from Kawaramachi Station to the next station Karasuma Station, then transfer to the Shijo Station of the subway and return to Kyoto Station.However, sometimes don't be too harsh on yourself!I just had enough roasted meat to eat, and when I was full of food and drink, I chose to take a taxi directly back to the hotel. If there are four people in a group, you can actually consider taking a taxi in the city.

Itinerary description: Use the Kansai Excursion Pass for the second day in a row. The challenge is to go to the Kurama area of Kibune, challenge to board the Kurama Temple, walk into the ancient road in the mountain, and walk through the mountains to the Kifune Shrine. Of course, this is also an afterword and a myth. .On this day, Anya, who likes to stay in various hotels, plans to change the hotel. Fortunately, the second hotel is still near the MRT station. Although it has to be transferred at Karasuma Oike Station, it is still within acceptable limits. Too much time was wasted.
After exiting the hotel, you have to take the subway to the privately-owned Keihan Main Line, then take the Keihan Main Line to the Eizan Tram, and then take the cable railway to climb the mountain. There are four transportation routes to reach Kurama Temple.Fortunately, whether public or private, railway or bus in Japan, routes and stations can be connected to each other. When planning transportation, as long as you pay attention to the scope of ticket application, you can actually easily plan various transfer routes and make your own itinerary more diversified. .

Itinerary description: After going down the mountain from Kurama Temple, although the cable railway method has been used to avoid the physical exhaustion caused by climbing, there is no room left to go to the Kibune area.Had to go down the mountain to the famous maple viewing spots on the Eizan tram route.Although you can take a bus directly at the foot of Mount Kurama, it seems that the route is not dense enough, so I chose the Xian Ruishan tram to get off at Baosike Pond and take a bus to Shisentang.Although you can also get off at Yichengji Temple on the Eizan Tram and walk there, the bus station is still relatively close to Shixiantang. Although the transfer is a toss, sometimes it is better to walk to toss it!

Itinerary description: Fortunately, I had a visit and rest at Yuanguang Temple, because it is a long way to go to the gate of Manshu Monastery. For those of us who have been baptized by Kurama Temple today, this is also a test of willpower, and we have to return. It took a long way to reach the bus station. Afterwards, he took the subway back to the hotel without hesitation, and settled for dinner at the ramen shop in front of Nijo Castle.

Original plan
When arranging a travel itinerary, I prefer to plan itineraries in circles, that is, instead of going the same way and going back the same way, I use different routes and vehicles to circle through various scenic spots.After all, taking a ride takes precious time to travel, so why not let taking transportation become a kind of scenery and pleasure of traveling?Of course, this kind of planning requires physical strength and execution ability!The second wave of maple viewing itinerary planning is a case of failure. You really have to do what you can.
The first day of the itinerary was originally the second day of the hotel change, and I came to the first day earlier. Although there was less time to change the hotel, all of them had to take the subway. In fact, there is not much difference.Just planning to transfer from Nagaoka to Lanshan is obviously too naive and romantic. The end result is to go the same way, return to the same road, take an early rest, find a Yefeng scenic spot for filing, and then set off; the second day’s itinerary will be the third day The itinerary was also a day earlier, and it was okay to have more time to change the hotel, but the plan for the grand tour of the mountain in Kunma Mountain was also abruptly stopped, but I really realized that I am getting older!
