We have added a new route, from Tokyo to Kyoto.
Kyoto is one of the most popular places in Japan for travelers.
It takes approximately 2 hours 15 minutes from Tokyo to Kyoto by Nozomi Shinkansen.
If you stay in Tokyo and have 1 day available, you can visit Kyoto!
Take Nozomi in the morning, then you will have enough time to visit some of the most famous temples , such as Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Kiyomizu-dera.
If you take Hikari or Kodama, it is cheaper.
However, we strongly recommend to take Nozomi.
It is the most popular way to visit Kyoto from Tokyo.
