The use of the city bus is basically indispensable to visit the sightseeing spots of Kyoto.
For example, if you are thinking about sightseeing based at JR Kyoto Station, buses are basically the most convenient place to go, no matter where you go: Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, or Kiyomizu-dera.
The bus in Kyoto costs 230 yen for a flat ride regardless of distance.
Therefore, it is 230 yen to move to the next bus pass, and 230 yen if it is in the area even if it takes a bus for one hour.
The bus in Kyoto sells one-day tickets, which are very convenient because you don't have to pay for them one by one. In addition, the one-
day ticket will be 600 yen (as of summer 2020), so if you ride three times, you will get a good deal. In general, you will use three sections just to go to both Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji from JR Kyoto Station. (At least three sections from JR Kyot
o Station to Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple to Ginkaku-ji Temple, and Ginkaku-ji Temple to JR Kyoto Station)
Where do I buy my pass?
There may be many things, but there is a ticket vending machine at C1 of the bus terminal of JR Kyoto Station, so you can buy it there.
How do I use a path?
If you put your card in the first place to pay for the bus, the date will be engraved. After
the second time, you can ride as it is if you present the card to the driver.
