Basically, this type of train is directly connected to the Nara Line or Kashiwara Line and is operated all day in the sections between Kyoto Station and Kintetsu Nara Station, Tenri Station or Kashiwarajingu-mae Station (a few trains of this type go to Yamato-Saidaiji Station, Kintetsu-Miyazu Station or Shin-Tanabe Station).
奈良線や橿原線に直通しての運転が基本で、終日、京都～近鉄奈良・天理駅・橿原神宮前（大和西大寺・近鉄宮津・新田辺行も本数はごくわずかだがある）間に運転されている。
