tokyo > kyoto with minimum transfers

Hi there!

There is no direct line between Shinjuku and Ishiyama, however the trip is pretty straightforwards. Here's a sample itinerary that has 2 transfers at both ends of the bullet train leg that joins Tokyo and Kyoto.

You can look up train timetables and costs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia for Japan Rail Pass holders through our video blog.

Hope this helps!
