Nara Travel To

Getting to Nara By plane Nara does not have its own airport, so most visitors arrive via Kansai International Airport (change trains in Osaka) or Osaka’s Itami Airport. By trainFrom Kyoto station, both the JR Nara Line and the private Kintetsu Kyoto line will get you to Nara quickly. Kintetsu is slightly cheaper and Kintetsu Nara station is better located that JR Nara, but travellers may have to change at Yamato Saidaiji for the last hop into town. The fastest route from Osaka is to take the private Kintetsu Nara Line from Namba station. If using the Japan Rail Pass, you can also travel on JR from Tennoji via Oji, but this adds a bit of a detour and takes longer. JR Nara Station Nara, Japan.
