Journeys are presented via a mixture of live-action footage of the actual train route and a real-time 3D rendered conductor's cabin.
All of the footage has been recorded in autumn, prominently featuring the area's famous autumn scenery.
Players can drive both directions through all of the routes, and an in-game guidebook provides information on real-world sightseeing spots along the game's train lines.
While the original release featured only the Eizan line, this new version adds the Kurama line (runs between Takaragaike and Kurama) and the Hiei sightseeing train (opened 2018, runs to the foot of Mount Hiei).
A new achievement system has been added, and a new beginners' guide provides in-game tutorials.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Japanese Rail Sim: Journey to Kyoto for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Japanese Rail Sim: Journey to Kyoto to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2019.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Japanese Rail Sim: Journey to Kyoto, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
