From Kinkakuji to the nearest Randen station (KitanoHakubaicho), it takes at least 5 minutes by bus (¥230) By Kiefuku Railway (Randen), it takes 27 minutes including transfer time and ¥2 to Arashiyama Trains are operated almost every 10 minutes If you plan firstly to ride trolley train or visit Daikakuji Temple, via JR line is recommenedThere is no direct connection from Kinkakuji to Arashiyama However, you can take the walk to Kinkakuji Temple, take the line 101 bus to Kitano Hakubaicho, take the walk to Kitanohakubaicho, take the train to Katabiranotsuji, then take the train to Arashiyama(Tramway)I would normally suggest visiting Nijo Castle after Arashiyama by JR train, then taking the Bus No12 to Kinkakuji (or the other way around) For other bus options, refer to the Kyoto City Map Edited 6
