The route I took was mostly same as last Sunday.
I went to Tambabashi station by Kintetsu.From Tambabashi, I went to Gion-shijyou by Keihan.
Where I ate lunch was also same as last Sunday(8th floor of Hankyu Department Store).But the restaurant was different from one I ate lunch last Sunday.
I entered the concource of Kawaramachi station.As soon as I went down on the platform, staff said "The train type 6300 , which has 2 doors per car is approaching. Do not take a picture with using a flash,please."
I went to Katsura by Semi-express.
I took a picture of Hankyu 6300 series train there.

Departure
I went to Rakusaiguchi by Semi-express.
(Image2)
The place around Rakusaiguchi station is under construction of temporary railway tracks to construct viaducts.
From Rakusaiguchi, I walked to Katsuragawa.
The park near Katsura station seems to insist that "Keep bike out, accept wheelchair" since there strange gates in the park.
I went to Kyoto by Local train.
The question
Which route is the cheaper?
・Kawaramachi→Hankyu Kyoto Line →Karasuma/Sijyou→Kyoto Munipal subway Karasuma Line →Kyoto
・Kawaramachi→Hankyu Kyoto Line→Rakusaiguchi/Katsuragawa→JR Tokaido Main Line→Kyoto
The answer is latter.
This is the reason why I took such a strange route.
I took pictures of Limited Express"Raicho" bound for Kanazawa and one bound for Osaka

Raicho bound for Osaka

Raicho bound for Kanazawa
When I was to step down the stairs, I discovered the information sign・・・

a pictogram indicates Shinkansen100series
By the way,at underground shopping arcade
・Porta, underground shopping arcade under Kyoto station …pictogram indicates Shinkansen700series(Railstar)
・The CUBE, underground speciality shopping store arcade under Kyoto station…No pictograms.Letters only
・concource of Kyoto station(JR central)…a pictogram indicates Shinkansen700series
informs us of the direction of boarding locations of Shinkansen by them
I went up the steps to the platform of Kyoto station(Shinkansen).
In waiting room, Two strange railway funs argued earnestly "How to make three dimensional grilfriends after entrance to university."
After I had left such a waiting room,I waited in line for Shinkansen500series.
Shinkansen500series train approaches. The platform was in chaos as we had expected ww
(Image6)
I took a picture of sign
In chaos, I rode Shinkansen500series train. Despite my choice having been non-reserved seat、I could be seated and there are few passengers who kept standing, and all of them are on the deck.
As I got off at Shin-Osaka, the platform was in much more chaos than Kyoto www
I managed to take a picture of it.
(Image7)
Hmm, We can see the sight even after tomorrow.
To exit.
I was surprised to see many people around a manned ticket gate. I wondered why so many people was there.
They are considered to be people who want to get tickets in remembrance of Shinkansen500series.
I moved to Hinata Spa by taking the free bus bound for Hotel Garden Palace Osaka, because Hinata Spa locates opposite to Hotel Garden Palace Osaka w
I took bathes ,and left there in a hurry.I went to Minamikata by taxi.
At first, I intended to take pictures at Minamikata. As I witnessed the scene that Limited express bound for Kwaramachi met Local at this station*1.
Threfore, I changed the place taking pictures to Awaji.
At Awaji ,I took pictures on the platform where trains bound for Umeda or Tengachaya depart.
(Image8)
This is the last time I see Hankyu6300series as Limited Express.
A man whom I've ever seen stands near me. But,I didn't have confidence to identify him.And I kept taking pictures without speaking to him.
I went home via Tenn-roku(stands for Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome).
*1:If this situation took place , it'll be difficult to take pictures of the objective train.
