Kintetsu Railway

Connecting Osaka with Osaka with Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya and Ise

Kintetsu Railway is a private railway company operating mainly in Japan's Kansai Region, connecting the major cities of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Nagoya, as well as popular side-trip destinations like Yoshinoyama and Ise-Shima in Mie Prefecture. Extending over around 1000 kilometers of railtrack, it is notable for being the second largest rail network in Japan after the JR group.

Covering a wide range of destinations, the Kintetsu Railway is especially invaluable for travelers keen to get off the beaten track, opening up areas like Fushimi in southern Kyoto, Nara and Asuka where Japanese civilization began, the Iga region known for its connection to ninja and as far as Nagoya and Ise-Shima.
