From abroad
Kansai International Airport, south of Osaka, is the natural access route to Kyoto. From there you can reach Kyoto Station in 1 hour 15 minutes, using the Limited Express HARUKA (runs twice an hour). Another option is to use a shared taxi (shuttle), which you should book in advance, operated either by Yasaka Taxi or MK Taxi.The Central Japan International Airport, nearby Nagoya, provides an alternative access route. The Mu-Sky limited express to Nagoya runs every 30mn (and takes 30mn), and from there to Kyoto is just 35mn by Shinkansen (albeit a bit expensive).
Domestic flights arrive at Osaka Airport, northwest of Osaka, from which you can take a limousine bus to Kyoto.
You can check timetables for trains inside Japan on Jorudan's Norikae-Annai or on Google Maps.
