If you are going to Ohara, you are probably going to go by bus. You can catch Kyoto Bus 16 from a bus stop at Shijo-Kawaramachi and Kyoto Bus 17 at Kyoto Station. Both of these buses go to Ohara via Demachiyanagi Station, but they do take quite a while. I opted to take a train on the Keihan Main Line to Demachiyanagi and then catch a bus from there, but it still took 40 minutes from there to reach Ohara bus terminal. At Demachiyanagi, you can catch either of these buses at bus stop “C” which is south-west of the railway station.
