Main Train Rides From Kyoto to Venue
Look for TOZAI Line (red) signage — Keishin Line isn’t well marked. Board any Blue or Green train toward Biwako-Hamaotsu Station (not a Red train — that goes to Rokujizo instead). Blue/Green trains run less often than Red, so build in extra wait time.
👍 GREEN Train (underground in Kyoto) goes to Biwako-Hamaotsu Station
👍 BLUE Train (underground in Kyoto) goes to Biwako-Hamaotsu Station
🚫 RED Train DOES NOT GO to Biwako-Hamaotsu Station (Tozai – Red Line)

Board on Platform 2 or 3. It’s a 10-minute ride. Exit at Otsu station on the north side and walk about 15 minutes to the turnstiles of Biwako-Hamaotsu Station — the pin is below.
