The JR Nara Line connects Kyoto Station and Nara Station.
It takes about an hour, but it is easy to get there without changing trains.
JR Nara Station to Rohto Arena
Konoike Sports Park, where the Arena is located, is about 2.5 kilometers away from Nara Station, so it may be a little difficult to walk there.
