Tokyu Railways is easy to access from Shibuya to Yokohama. Additionally, there is a JR line that goes to Yokohama.

KOBE-OSAKA-KYOTO and Arashiyama
HANKYU RAILWAY -- if you don’t have a JR pass, it’s cheaper to travel between Osaka Umeda to Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi, the central Kyoto. Also, you can visit Arashiyama or Kobe by the Hankyu railway.
Please note that Hankyu doesn’t go to JR Kyoto Station.

If you are staying nearby or arriving in Nara by Kintetsu Railway, you can walk and do not need to take a bus for sightseeing, but if you are arriving by JR, I recommend taking a bus to the centre area. Hotels are affordable near JR Nara station, but a bit expensive near Kintetsu Nara station.

How to ride the tram / Good news, you can use your IC card ;) But don’t forget to charge.
