Keifuku Railway

The Keifuku railway is an interurban line with two branches. It does not reach the city center of Kyoto. The line to Omiya you must transfer to a bus or to the Hankyu subway for the rest of the trip into town. However this railway does serve some tourist destinations. I did not get a chance to ride it however.
