Kyoto to Nara Express Train by Kintetsu

We booked for the return trip from Nara Park to Kyoto, and it was a great decision! Easy to manage and use! I regret not having booked the outbound trip as well 🥲 It's not the first time I've booked, nor will it be the last!

You can also purchase tickets before boarding. Seat selection is not available; seats are assigned automatically. You get to ride in a special train car and must go up to the second floor. The scenery is wonderful and highly recommended.

It's very punctual, like all transportation in Japan. Please note that even if you have the QR code, you will need Wi-Fi to scan the ticket.

Great experience. Reached my destination without any problem. The train is clean and leaves on time so you will reach the destination right on schedule.

Very good, super easy to find in Kyoto Station / arrived near the deer park and temple

Very clean train and we even made a mistake and missed our scheduled leaving time, which the conductor allowed. Great service

By booking your train tickets early in the morning, you won't have to worry about not having a seat between Kyoto and Nara. I recommend buying this ticket so you can avoid the crowds!

Excellent, punctual and clean train. The seats were so comfortable and the large windows provided a lovely view of the scenery.

The Kintetsu train is perfect for getting to Nara; you get off and you're almost at the deer park! A magnificent experience.

I had a comfortable ride. It's really nice to book in advance.
