Have a few questions about saving on transportation in the Kyoto prefecture/region.

Will be arriving at Maizuru by cruise ship, heading to Kyoto for a 4 nights before flying out of KIX.

I believe I need a Suica card and a Kyoto rail pass of some sort to minimize transportation costs. Will just be within Kyoto and not planning to go out to visit temple areas. Any idea where I should buy these (or does it not matter until I get to Kyoto)?

Not sure where the ship docks in Maizuru but it looks like near Higashi-Maizuru station. I think there are either non-stop or one stop local/LE trains to Kyoto.
