Hi, i bought the tickets online. May i check can i collect the ticket from the station few days before the actual date? Or i can only collect on actual day of my scheduled ticket?
Hi, i'm planning to ride the train from Torokko Kameoka Station and stop at Torokko Arashiyama Station because i want to visit Bamboo Forest nearby. But the problem is, can i resume my journey after that to Torokka Saga Station so that i can catch the train back to Osaka? Thankyou for your reply in advanced!

We walked down through the Bamboo forest which was fascinating and simply boarded the train again at the lower station.
Can i buy the tickets online in advance? I will be landing in Tokyo and go to Kyoto straight via shinkansen in early December (so it’s mimiji). And will go to Arashiyama the next day. I saw articles that purchasing advanced tickets can only be done in JR stations in Kansai area. However, where can i buy it online and get it delivered to our hotel?? Please help Thanks!!

Their website says you are able to buy tickets in advance, but not online: Tickets can be bought from Midori-no-Madoguchi counters at major JR West stations, or at major domestic travel agencies, beginning at 10 a.m. on the day 1 month prior to your ride date. You can also purchase tickets at the following locations: Central Japan Travel Center, Chubu Centrair International Airport Kansai Tourist Information Center, Daimaru Shinsaibashi Kansai Tourist Information Center, Kyoto But if you're going to buy them on the day, they can sell out pretty quickly and you'll be left with standing only tickets. My advice for on the day sales would be to get there early, buy your ticket, then go check out the bamboo forest which is just around the corner.
