Infrequent JR Hashidate limited express trains operate directly between Kyoto and Amanohashidate (2 hours, 4800-5400 yen one way depending on the day of travel). Alternatively, take a JR Kinosaki limited express train from Kyoto to Fukuchiyama (75 minutes, about 3050-3650 yen, hourly departures) and change to the Kyoto Tango Railway to Amanohashidate (40-60 minutes, 800-1750 yen depending on whether you use a local or limited express train). Note that seat reservations are mandatory on the Hashidate and Kinosaki limited express trains.
The entire journey is covered by the JR Kansai Wide Area Pass, JR Kansai Hokuriku Area Pass, JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass and some other rail passes by JR West; however the nationwide Japan Rail Pass is not valid on the Kyoto Tango Railway between Fukuchiyama and Amanohashidate.
