The ultimate guide of bus and train routes in Kyoto

Overview on Kyoto bus and train routes

Routes crowded

From Kyoto sta. to Gion and Kiyomizu dera at D1 and D2 bus stop at Kyoto sta.

  Usually, we take bus no. 86、100、106、110、206 to get there. Kiyomizu dera is the most popular site in Kyoto and many tourists take these buses to go there. So, they are always crowded.

 In addition to it, they head for Kiyomizu dera by way of Sanjusangen do mae bus stop (Sanjusangen-do and Kyoto National museum) and people may get on them at the bus stop because Sanjusangen do and Kyoto National museum is also a popular destinantion for tourists.

 Take a look at the photo above. This is the D1 and D2 bus stop at Kyoto sta. for Kiyomizu-dera and Gion. If you foud more people than indicated in the photo, it would be better to take train to get there istead of taking bus.

From Kiyomizu-dera to other places

  In spring and fall, tourists visit Kiyomizu dera for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. They take bus at Kiyomizu-michi and Gojo zaka bus stop. Usually, they wait there in line. Sometimes it take 20~30 minutes to get on bus. If you found many people at these bus stops, it would be better to take train (Kiyomizu-gojo station, Gion Shijo station, and Kawaramachi station) or taxi.

For Arashiyama

  It is not a good idea to go there by bus because trains bring you there faster. In addtion to it, the bus stops around Arashiyama station are located don’t work as usual because the bus routes are changed.

Bus No. 5 from Kyoto station

 The No.5 is always crowded because it stops at popular destination like Heian Jigu, Eikando, and Ginkakuji.

Raku bus 洛バス（No. 100、101、102）

 The 100, 101, and 102 are routes for sight seeing. Lots of tourists take them. They ara crowded with many tourists usually.

Bus No. 200s

 The 200s are crowded because they are roop lines and not only tourists but Kyotoites take them.

 At some bus stops like Kitaoji bus terminal, driver changes bus and vice versa. Take advice of driver.

Bus stops crowded

Kinkakuji michi/Kinkakuji mae bus stops

 We take these bus stops to get Kinakuji temple though they always crowded. If you took buses there in the evening, you might be in tough and rough situations. To avoid them, visit Kinkakuji (It opens at 9:00) in the morning and go Ryoanji, Ninnaji, or Arashiyama.

Kiyomizu zaka and Gojyo zaka bus stop

  As I indicated before.

Arashiyama Tenryuji mae/ Arashiyama bus stop

  These bus stops always crowded becayse there are no bus stops except them around Arashiyama.

Train crowded

Randen (Keifuku Railways)

 Randen trains run in small two cars and cannot hold many passengers at one time.

Eiden

 Eiden is only route for Kibune and Yase actually.

To avoid inconvenience

Take trains

  On week-ends and in spring and fall, some routes are jam-packed and it sometimes take lots of time to get destinations. To avoid that, take trains as possible.

 For example, we can go to Kinkakuji on bus no. 205 from Kyoto station. It may take one hour to get there on week-ends. We take subway and bus instead: we take subway at Kyoto station and change to bus at Imadegawa.

Take taxi

 It is the easiest way to get desitination.

How to take Kyoto City Bus

Let us have a bus map and 1-day pass

 There are “Bus Ticket Center/バスチケットセンター” in front of JR Kyoto station Karasuma-guchi.

 Have a routemap (Bus Navi) and 1-day pass card for bus or other pass card we discuss in the next chapter.

How to pay fare?

Overview

　We can bay bus fare with cash, pass cards and IC cards.

Pass cards

 We have 3 kinds of pass cards for Kyoto city bus and subway; 1-day bus card, 1-day train card, and 1 or 2-days bus and train cards.

1-day bus card

 This is a card in need. With 600 yen, we can take Kyoto city buses and Kyoto bus any times you want on a day. It is valid for 1 day in the “flat fare area.” The routes in this artilcle are in the area except Kibune and Yase. 600 yen.

1-day train card

  We can take Kyoto city subway any times you want on a day.  It is valid for 1 day. 600 yen.

1-day train card, and 1 or 2-days bus and train cards.

  With this, we we can take Kyoto city buses, Kyoto bus, and Kyoto city subway any times you want. It is valid for 1 day (900 yen) or 2 days (1700 yen ).

IC cards

　We can use PiTaPa, ICOCA, Suika, Kitaca, PASMO, manaka, TOICA, nimoca, SUGOCA, and はやかけん. Make sure they had enough deposit.

To pay bus fare

 We pay bus fare when we get off bus, don’t pay it in advance. Take a bus at rear door.

 Near front door, there is a machine like this. Put the exact amount of a fare (230 yen all the destinations in this article except Kibune and Yase) into 3.

 For small changes; put 1,000 yen bill into 2 or 500, 100, and 50 yen coins into 1.
