Bullet train to Kyoto |  Isabella Lowengrip

Bullet train to Kyoto | Isabella Lowengrip

Today we took the bullet train to Kyoto! It is a bullet train that runs from Tokyo to Kyoto in just two hours. I booked tickets online (very easy), but finding them at the station was more difficult.

Exhausted, sweaty and struggling to keep up with everything. In fact, it was simple. I went to the ticket machine, scanned the tickets and produced them on paper. Then we went to the section where express trains only run and looked for our platform. Nothing surprising – except that nothing is in English or he knows English, so it took a little longer and a few drops of sweat later.

We did it! It took 45 minutes from the time we arrived in the taxi to the time we were on the platform, so it is important to have a slight margin in countries where residents cannot speak English. Google saved our stay. Partly the usual translation, but above all, the function where you can hold the camera over the caption and everything is translated.

However, something happened that shouldn’t have happened. When we arrived at the ryokan we were going to stay at (a traditional inn), I had booked and paid for the coming weekend and not Friday and Sunday. Jah. Moreover, it’s a national holiday in Japan right now, so every hotel in Kyoto is fully booked. But after two hours, we found a room in a hotel in the city, thank God. Had Italian takeaway for dinner (kids thrilled) and a bag of sweets on their way home from the restaurant. A long, chaotic day but it worked – as always.

Now an exciting weekend awaits us in Kyoto and on Sunday (the last night before heading home) we will stay at the hotel!
