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.

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!

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.

Traveling from Osaka to Kyoto by Monorail

If you're flying into Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka and planning to visit the historical shrine sites in Kyoto, taking the monorail is a convenient and efficient way to travel between the two cities. Here's what you need to know:

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.
