Get the app rome2rio. It's a point A to B distance & destination finder. It has various transportation options with prices.
Mary
Thank you. It will be our 1st time there. Do you have any problem with signs in the stores?

Lots of English signage in major cities. You'll be fine.

Never heard of monorail from Osaka to Kyoto. Approx. 10 to 12 min on bullet train from shin Osaka. Approx 30 min on local train. If it quiet you want stay in Kyoto for the night. If you want to venture out stay in Osaka.
Mary
What's to see in the night in Osaka and Kyoto? I have booked my hotel in Kyoto.
Darin
How long are you Japan? There is more to see in Japan than Kyoto? Nice place many temples and shrines but there is more to see. Did or are you going to get a JR pass for foreigners? If so travel Japan! Been there more than 40 times through the years and I am still finding new places to see off the normal tourist destinations. Leave for another trip to Japan in about 2 weeks. Looking forward to it. Have fun and explore!
Mary
JR pass for foreigners are a bargain especially when one is travelling all over Japan but we have 4 nights then heading to Singapore, Malaysia, then Brunei.
Judy
We just came from kyoto. Take the train from the airport to Kyoto I would suggest staying in Kyoto lots of temples.
Mary
Judy Is it necessary to purchase the JR pass or Kyoto train & bus unlimited pass? Did you take the bus or train from Kansai airport to Kyoto?
Judy
We purchased the 7 day pass was definitely worth it depending if your going to travel the country otherwise the local trains are quite cheap. We took the express train from kyoto to airport.
Judy
We flew into Tokyo ended in Kyoto and travelled in between.
Mary
Thank you

How long does it take from Osaka to Kyoto by monorail?

How much is the fare from Osaka to Kyoto?
The one-way fare for the monorail from Osaka to Kyoto is around 1,200 yen (approximately $10 USD). However, it's advisable to purchase a discounted pass or ticket if you plan to use public transportation frequently during your stay.
Should I book my hotel stay in Osaka or Kyoto?
Since your primary objective is to visit the historical shrine sites in Kyoto, it may be more convenient to book your hotel stay in Kyoto. This way, you'll be closer to the major attractions and can easily explore the city on foot or by using local transportation. However, if you plan to divide your time between Osaka and Kyoto, staying in Osaka could be a good option as well, as it offers easy access to both cities via the monorail.
