How to get to Tamba Sasayama from Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto

By train

From Osaka

From JR Osaka Station, get off at Sasayamaguchi on the JR Takarazuka Line or JR Fukuchiyama Line. The tourist spots are a little far from the station, so don't walk, take a bus or taxi! On nice days, we also recommend renting a bicycle. Bus: Take the bus bound for Sasayama Office from the West Exit (left after exiting the ticket gate) > Get off at the Higashiokaya Higashi bus stop and walk for 1 minute Taxis: Available at both the West and East Exits. (We recommend boarding from the East Exit for Enter and Jokamachi) Rental bicycles: https://tourism.sasayama.jp/rental-cycle/

From Tokyo

The usual way to get there is to take the Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka, then head to Sasayamaguchi Station on the JR Takarazuka Line. However, if you enjoy driving or are good at driving, we recommend getting off the Shinkansen at Kyoto and renting a car. (Train fares are a little cheaper, and you can get around to tourist spots more efficiently.) Enjoy your drive to Kameoka in Kyoto Prefecture and Fukuzumi in Tanba Sasayama City, visiting beautiful mountain ranges and stylish old-style cafes!
