If you plan to visit Kyoto, this app is strongly recommended. -

On the first screen, the Questionnaire can be skipped by tapping Close or 回答しない.
-
Departure and arrival locations can be entered in Korean, English, or Japanese.
You can also add stopovers if needed. -
Some Korean place names may not appear in search results.
For example, Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) is registered under its official name “Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺)”,
so it may not appear when searching for 'Kinkaku-ji' in Korean.
In this case, search using the Japanese or Chinese characters such as 金閣寺. -
Search results are shown by color.
- Blue: Train
- Green: Bus
- Red: Tourist attraction
Use the color guide to choose the correct transport option.
