From one track to another

Hi, I will be traveling to Magome from Kyoto, I want to check if the tracks for the shinkansen (from Kyoto) is very far (and hard to find) from the tracks for JR shinano train (to Nakatsugawa)? Will it take more than 30mins to find it?

Thanks! :)

It should not take more than 5 minutes to find them. They are all parallel to each other. Nagoya Station is easy to navigate.

You should be able to make that transfer in 5 minutes. See this map:

You're going from platform 14 or 15 to 7 or 8. It's straight forward.

Thanks!
One more question: What about in Shin-Osaka Station? From Tokaido Shinkansen to Sanyo Shinkansen. Will be going from Nagoya to Hiroshima. Are the tracks also near each other?

Thanks again!

One more question: What about in Shin-Osaka Station? From Tokaido Shinkansen to Sanyo Shinkansen.

It is even easier. The tracks are all parallel to each other. It should not take more than two minutes to change platforms. Maybe the connecting train even departs from the same platform.

Also, note that if you do not use the Japan Rail Pass, you can take a direct Nozomi train between Nagoya and Hiroshima without transfer at Shin-Osaka.

Thanks so much uji! :)

What are the depature times for the Ohara bus (Kyoto city bus no 19) from Kokusaikaikan Station and also from Ohara going back?

It is not a "Kyoto City Bus", but a "Kyoto Bus". Here are the departure times from Kokusaikaikan:

No, it is a Kyoto Bus, which is usually reddish or white/beige.

3) Is this bus freaquent?

See the departure times on the above link.

4) Is the bus stop far from the Kokusaikaikan station?

About a 3-4 minute walk from the platforms.

Thanks so much Uji!
