From Daniel's helpful posts in other threads, I know that we will mostly be using buses to get around Kyoto, probably using the 500yen card.
We'll be going out to Saga-Arashiyama for lunch one day, and hyperdia tells me there are two fast trains an hour ("Sagano line express service" on the 07 and 17, looks like, taking about 11 minutes with no changes), and maybe one or two express trains, Sagano Line which takes 16 minutes with no changes
Will those be covered by our JR pases? And if so, do we need to make a reservation in advance or will it be OK to just show up at the correct time?
Thanks,
Lettezilla
