Kuramaguchi Station 鞍馬口駅

Kuramaguchi is north of Doshisha University and Shokokuji Temple. This is the station to get off if you are going to walk down the northern part of Teramachi Dori with its many historic temples including nearby Kanga'an, Jozenji and Tenneiji. A full day's walk down Teramachi Street will eventually bring you into central Kyoto where the street becomes a covered arcade or shotengai. There are no major hotels near the station but there are several guest houses and short term lets.

The station has coin lockers if you are staying nearby and need to store your luggage.
