Well, the next means of transportation is the subway. Kyoto's subway lines are cross-shaped. It is a line that connects directly north of Kyoto Station to the International Conference Center, and a line that extends east and west from Karasuma Oike station.
In order to get on the subway, you need to buy a ticket. A large route map is posted above the ticket vending machine at the station, and the fare from the current location to the destination station is displayed. Check it and buy a ticket at the ticket machine. Credit cards are not accepted. After buying a ticket, insert it at the ticket gate. It will come out soon, so don't forget to take it. When you arrive at the desired station, insert the ticket again at the ticket gate. It will not come out this time, so please do not make a mistake. After all, it is very convenient to have the ICOCA introduced earlier. You don't need to buy a ticket, just hold up your ICOCA at the ticket gate. There are many subway trains, and you will not have to wait more than 10 minutes. In addition, it is not affected by traffic jams like buses and taxis. In addition, there is a display on the platform that shows how close the next train is to you, so you will be less stressed. In the past, there was only one line from north to south, the Karasuma Line, but now there is an East-west line that changes at Karasuma Oike, making it much more convenient to travel around Kyoto City. If you set a sightseeing course that uses the subway many times, your time performance will improve. At that time, you can make good use of the one-day ticket, if you have. The subway seats are soft and comfortable to sit on. Be careful not to doze off and oversleep.
