Travel around Kyoto New Year

Hello there,

1.) Trains between Osaka and Kyoto depart very frequently (up to every 10 minutes). So there's no need to reserve tickets in advance. Most trains are local trains in any event and don't have seat reservations available.

2.) Trains certainly operate on the 1st of January but please be sure to book your tickets as soon as you arrive in Japan.

3.) The best way is to just use your own bank card at a post office ATM which accepts most major foreign cards. For more information see http://www.jp-bank.japanpost.jp/en/ias/en_ias_index.html

Hope this helps!

Thankyou, this is very helpful.

Can I confirm, do we book the JR seats at a post office?

Hi Again!

You can reserve seats at any JR station.

The post office is just for money.
