Kyoto by Bus

Inside guide and tips to the bus network

Kyoto is a reasonably compact city with grid like streets, but it is not small enough for you to walk to all the sights. This is where the bus comes in. While the subway is quick and hard to get lost, most sights are actually some distance from the subway or train station, except Nijo Castle , Imperial Palace, the Furniture District in Ebisugawa and Gion . So invariably you need to learn how the buses work.

Luckily the buses are designed for the tourist in mind, and especially if you start with some of the loop (circular) routes, you will get to know your bearings within a day or so.

These loop buses are called raku bus, routes 100, 101 and 102, taking you to places like the golden temple (Kinkakuij).

The ¥600 day pass is a great deal, and it pays for itself after three trips. What’s more, if you get lost or go past your stop, you can always get another bus back without worrying about paying another fare with the day pass. Alternatively, for ¥900, a combined bus and subway pass is another option. Both day passes expire at midnight, so it is best to use these passes from the morning.

There are some basics when you use the bus:

• There are two kinds of buses in Kyoto City. The city buses are green and white.
• Board at the back The entrance is actually at the back door, which makes it easy if you are running for the bus.
• There is a taped announcement for the next stop. This is in English and Japanese, as well as a running display. When your stop is up, press the stop button and go the front to exit.
• You pay your fare when you get off. To use the bus within the city center, the fare is ¥220 for adults, and ¥110 for children (aged 6 to 12 years).It doesn't matter if you are traveling one or ten stops, as long as you are in the city bus the fare is the same. So you may as well walk if you are just going one stop.
• Buses can get quite full, especially near the main centers. This includes Shijo, Gion or JR Kyoto. Knowing the other routes besides the raku bus may help you skip the crowds, such as the 204 and 205, which also gets you to Kinkakuji . Alternatively plan a day seeing the sights near the train when it is crowded (e.g. spring and autumn weekends and main festivals/ public holidays. If you are in a group of three or more, a taxi or guided taxi may be more comfortable for you.

If you are not going to cover a lot of ground in a day, hiring a bicycle is often a good alternative (see these cycling rules ).

If you are heading out of the city center, however, you are likely to get an outer suburban red and white bus, to places like Ohara . These buses have a route number in black on a white background, and the fare depends on the distance traveled. Be sure to take a numbered ticket from the machine on your left when you board the bus. When you get off the bus, check the fare against your numbered ticket, and put the fare and ticket in the machine next to the driver. If you don't have exact change, then there is a change machine slot next to the driver which you can get change, preferably before your stop so you don't hold other people up. If you are using a prepaid bus card, make sure you to put your card into the card reader machine

Getting there

Kyoto Station Bus Terminal is a 2 minute walk from the north exit of JR Kyoto Railway Station.

A Guide to Riding the Kyoto Buses

🚌 buses and 🚇 subway.

Kyoto ’s transportation network is much criticized as it does not actually offer comprehensive and comfortable travel solutions:

• The subway covers a limited number of destinations, as its network consists of only two lines;
• The train is mainly intended to leave the city center, and move either westward to Sagano, northward to Kurama or southward to Inari;
• Bicycle is convenient in and around Kyoto’s center. However, its use is rather uncomfortable outside those limits despite recent efforts towards creating more cycling infrastructures;
• Taxi are a convenient solution for a number of routes, but are obviously the most expensive one, and affordable only to a few travelers.

Therefore, and despite the drawbacks of this solution, buses have become the most widely used transportation for visiting the former capital of Japan (and for its elderly inhabitants whose numbers reflect the population decline). Since it is not that easy to find one’s way around with buses, we have devised a guide for traveling smoothly.

🚌 Kyoto buses : network maps, pros and cons

Click on the picture to display it full size.

Kyoto buses have some advantages:

• Since buses use the well-developed Kyoto street and road network , they can cover most tourist destinations;
• They run quite frequently on the most used lines;
• The number of announcements in English , especially for tourist attractions, in increasing;
• "Special" buses, numbers 202 and 205, are loop lines and numbers 100, 101 and 102 serve the most visited places;
• Municipal buses are compatible with IC cards (contactless, like the Suica card ) since 2014.

On the down side:

• One-way tickets are expensive and there is no discount for IC card holders;
• It is impossible to use the Japan Rail Pass in Kyoto buses;
• Most lines have limited schedules and service sometimes ends before 5 p. m.;
• Traffic congestion is increasing in Kyoto, causing buses to run late quite often;
• Information displays only deliver basic, undetailed information, that is not always translated;
• Buses tend to be overcrowded , especially on the main lines and/or during rush hours;
• In most cases, carrying any luggage around will prove impossible;
• As often on Japanese buses, the seat size does not fit people of taller or bigger build.

Fares and Bus passes

Kyoto Municipal buses are painted green. There are two different types which are described in detail below.

Buses serving the city only

They only serve downtown Kyoto; Arashiyama for example is not included and a different rate will apply to get there. Each line number is painted a different color. A single rate applies for all tickets regardless the number of stops or the distance covered:

• Adults: ¥230 (~US$1.60)
• Children from 6 to 12: ¥120 (~US$0.83)

The City Bus All-Day Pass is available to travel an unlimited number of trips per day. It can be bought in all buses or from automatic ticket vending machines at several stops:

• Adults: ¥700 (~US$4.86) since October 2021
• Children: ¥350 (~US$2.43)

The All-Day Pass pays off from the 4th trip on the same day. Be aware, however, that it cannot be used over a 24-hour time span. It is only valid for a day, i.e. from morning through evening. Even if you start using it in the afternoon, it will not be valid any more the next morning.

In February 2023, the scrapping of the "Bus 1-Day Pass" is announced , coming into effect on 2024, April 1rst. It is still purchasable until September 2023 for a use before 2024, March 31. Kyoto city is indeed trying to encourage sightseers to take the subway  🚇 in order to ease bus congestion. The more expensive bus + subway combined pass remains available (see fares at the end of the article).

In 2000, the pass prize was lowered from ¥700 to ¥500, which spurred the sales to one million the same year, and up to 6,14 million in 2015. In March 2018, Then, over a period of a few years, the One-Day Pass’s price rose  🌹 again to ¥600 (~US$4.17), then to ¥700 (~US$4.86) in an attempt to limit its use by tourists.

In June 2023, Kyoto’s municipal government announced seriously considering a specific fare for Kyoto residents, implying an additional charge for Japanese and international tourists. However, this policy must be legally approved by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism before its implementation.

Buses serving the city and the suburbs

Their distinctive feature is the line number painted on a white background. The fare is calculated according to the number of stops .

They offer another type of pass called "Kyoto Sightseeing " (half-price for children):

• 1 day: ¥1,200 (~US$8.34)
• 2 days: ¥2,000 (~US$13.90)

When you purchase this pass, you get a free map plus a range of discounts in some Kyoto stores.

Planning an itinerary

The good news for people who like to plan ahead or worry about how to find their way: there is a local version of Hyperdia, called Arukumachi , dedicated to Kyoto's transportation network.

On Arukumachi’s website, you will find information about itineraries, schedules and fares and a downloadable app for smartphone  📱 is available.

How to use the bus in Kyoto

As everywhere in Japan, people wait in line at the bus stop and carefully make sure not to block the sidewalk. Passengers board through the rear door . The procedure may then vary depending on the bus type.

Buses serving the city only:

• You do not have to buy a ticket upon boarding.
• Before your chosen stop, press one of the stop buttons to request the bus driver to stop.
• Or Purchase or show a pass.

Buses serving the city and the suburbs:

• Take a numbered ticket;
• Use your IC card;
• Punch your pass if you already have one; Or,
• Just wait to buy your pass when you get off.
• Before your chosen stop, press one of the stop buttons to request the driver to stop.
• With your IC card;
• By showing your pass;
• By purchasing a pass.

Just like in most buses around the world, the name of the next stop is displayed on a screen in the front part of the vehicle, often spelled out in Japanese and sometimes translated into English.

The machine by the driver’s seat

Located on the left of the driver (who sits on the right-hand front of the vehicle), this machine is intended to handle most passenger-related procedures.

It may be used, among other things, to:

• Get change for ¥1,000 notes (~US$6.95), ideally before you reach your stop so as to avoid blocking traffic;
• Collect your payment through a tiny slot with the exact amount (no change given);
• Pay directly with your IC card, from which the amount will be deducted;
• Punch your pass when using it for the first time (you will only be required to show it to the driver after that).

The simplest way is obviously to use an IC card. If you forgot your Tokyo Suica card for example, it is worth purchasing an Icoca or Pitapa card (the local cards in Kansai ).

Additional advices

Kyoto buses being cramped and overcrowded, it is almost impossible to carry any (especially bulky) luggage around when riding them. Therefore, we strongly recommend the use of the excellent Takkyubin delivery system or simply to hire a taxi if you don’t travel light.

Lastly, all the bus stops in Kyoto city provide free Wifi  📶 (although not on the buses). You just need to connect to the "KYOTO WI-FI" network and agree to the terms of use from the page displayed in your browser. Sessions are 30 minutes long. This service is available from 5 a. m. to 1 a.m.

🚇 The subway : A possible alternative

Depending on your destination, it may sometimes prove more convenient to ride the subway. However, although less crowded and free from traffic congestion, it has two main drawbacks. First, its network consists of only two lines:

• Karasuma / K (Turquoise and vertical) north bound to the Kyoto International Conference Center at Kokusaikaikan and south to Takeda, via the Kyoto JR station.
• Tozai / T (red and horizontal, or nearly…), west bound to Uzumasa Tenjingawa and south-east to Rokujizo.

They cross paths at Karasuma Oike in Kyoto’s center.

The second drawback is the price: it is the most expensive subway in Japan, and it nonetheless fails to cover its abysmal losses (8.6 billion Yens in 2010 despite efforts to attract customers). You can pay with your IC card or buy a ticket; fare is calculated according to the distance:

• Adults: from ¥220 (~US$1.53) to ¥360 (~US$2.50)
• Children: from ¥110 (~US$0.76) to ¥180 ((~US$1.25)

The JR Pass is not compatible with the Kyoto subway either which, however, offers an unlimited travel one-day pass:

• Adults: ¥800 (~US$5.56)
• Children: Half price

A combined Pass bus + subway is also available:

• Adults (1 day): ¥1,100 (~US$7.64)
• Children: Half the price

It is worth mentioning that the Arukumachi app also includes Kyoto subway. Please visit this address to download it.

Getting Around Kyoto: Guide to Public Transportation

TripSavvy /  Ellen Lindner  

Despite being an ancient city—indeed, Japan’s ancient capital—Kyoto, like every other city in Japan, has been very much modernized with an easily navigable transport infrastructure. It's simple to get around Kyoto, with bus routes and the subway being your best and most efficient options. Learning to navigate Tokyo’s intense subway and train networks can take weeks of practice, but Kyoto can be easily navigated immediately. The subway is stripped down and clear to understand, and the bus network may look daunting but can get you wherever you want to go.

You can use Google Maps to help you get around in Kyoto or you can use the dedicated Arukumachi KYOTO App which provides routes, timetables, and fares for buses and rail.

Also, as Kyoto is a particularly walkable city, you’re rarely more than 20 minutes walk from a nearby station. It’s a beautiful city with interesting shops and restaurants tucked around every corner so walking around will reveal a lot. People love cycling in Kyoto so renting a bike is another great option. But for those times when you really need transport, here’s how to navigate Kyoto’s fantastic public transportation system.

How to Ride the Kyoto Subway

Catching the subway is the quickest way to get around the city but, as there are only two lines , people tend to use the buses more for the extended reach. You can catch the north-south Karasuma Line which goes through Kyoto Station or the east-west Tozai Line which can take you to the Higashiyama sightseeing district. The lines then meet in the middle. To get from Kyoto Station to downtown Kyoto the Karasuma line is the best option available.

Although not as cheap as the buses, taking the subway is a quick and definitely easier to navigate. It’s also much cheaper than catching a taxi in Kyoto (unless you’re in a large group and aren’t traveling far).

Fares: Depending on the length of your journey, fares range between 220-360 yen. You can get a 10 percent discount if you use a prepaid card.

How to Pay: You can use coins or cash in the tickets machines with the subway station or purchase a Kyoto City Subway One-Day Pass . You can buy these in the subway stations or from Kyoto Tourist Information Centers and they come with a range of discounts for local museums and attractions. Alternatively, you can purchase the Traffica Kyoto Prepaid Card from the subway stations (1,000 or 3,000 yen) which you can then top up and use on the buses and subway. If you have an IC card— one of the ten interchangeable subway cards that can be used all over Japan (such as Pasmo or Suica)—it can also be used and purchased here. They work the same way as the Traffica card. Picking up a card is by far the easiest way to navigate the public transport.

Routes and Hours: The subway runs between 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily, which can be awkward if you want to enjoy the Kyoto nightlife. For this reason, booking your hotel within walking distance of the center is a good idea or be prepared to take a cab.

Navigation: As there are only two lines, navigating the Kyoto subway is very simple. Stops are written in romaji or English (as well as kanji) and there are maps in each station you can look at. Station conductors are also very happy to help.

Service Alerts: The HyperDia app will keep you updated on any issues on public transport and you can also check out the JR West Japan Railway website for updates.

Accessibility: Many of the stations in Kyoto have lifts and a minimal gap between the train and the platform edge, you can check the accessibility of each station on the Japan Accessible Tourism website .

How to Ride the Kyoto Buses

The buses run all over Kyoto and cover many of the areas the trains don’t reach but they’re notoriously busy during commuting times and are best avoided during those times. Buses are boarded from the back and exited from the front. Once you’re onboard, all announcements are made in both Japanese and English. When you're ready to get off, just press the button before your stop.

Routes and Hours: Using a travel app is the easiest way to figure out the bus you need and you can get to most of the tourist sites by bus from Kyoto Station. The buses run from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Fares: To pay your fare just place the change in a box next to the driver as you’re leaving the bus; there’s a flat fare within the city of 230 yen per ride. If you don’t have the exact change then you’ll find a machine under or next to the box which will provide you with the change, or you can tap your travel card which is much easier. If you’re taking a bus outside the city flat fare zone then you’ll need to take a ticket and wait for your fare to show up on the screen or just tap your travel card at the beginning and end.

Using Taxis in Kyoto

It’s really easy to catch a taxi in Kyoto and, although they’re not the cheapest option, they’re great if you need to get somewhere quickly or you miss the last train back. Also, if you’re traveling as a group, it can sometimes be cheaper or the same price to take a cab. You’ll always find taxis outside the subway and train stations, major tourist sites, or shopping centers. It’s also fine to hail a cab on the street by sticking out your hand.

You’ll be able to tell if they’re available if the light on the windshield is on and displays the 空車 sign. Alternatively, if it’s full, the cab will display 賃走中. You can also just check to see if there are people inside. There aren’t any rideshare apps or apps to help you call a cab in Kyoto so hailing is the easiest way to get going.

Kyoto taxi drivers always use the meter and are licensed, so you won’t have to worry about being ripped off. It’ll help to have your destination written in Japanese or have your map open just in case the driver doesn’t speak English. The ride will cost you 600 yen for the first 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) then 80 yen per 415 meters after that; you pay in cash, though some cabs will take a credit card.

Tip: During holidays like Golden Week and the cherry blossom season, the traffic in Kyoto can be exceptionally bad in the tourist areas so taking the subway will be much quicker in this case.

Getting to and From the Airport

Kyoto actually has three surrounding airports but thankfully they’ve all got great transport links so you won’t have any trouble getting to the center. The closest airport is Osaka Airport (a 50-minute drive from Kyoto) but this mainly serves domestic flights.

If you’re arriving internationally then you will very likely be arriving at Kansai Airport (a 90-minute drive from Kyoto). One of the best ways to travel from either airport is by using the Airport Transport coach service, you can purchase tickets at the airport or you can book online . Tickets range between 1,000-2,000 yen. The quickest way to get to the center from Kansai Airport is using the Limited Express Haruka train which costs 2,900 yen and takes just over an hour. You can access the train from terminal one, platform four and you buy tickets on the day from the ticket machine.

If you arrive at the third Central Japan International Airport, then your best option for getting into Kyoto will be by train, it takes around 90 minutes and costs 850 yen. Tickets can be purchased from the machine at the station.

Leaving the City

If you’re hoping to travel around Japan from Kyoto, it couldn’t be easier. The high-speed Shinkansen leaves from Kyoto Station and you can reach a number of exciting destinations within a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can reach Osaka and Nara using the local trains from Kyoto Station. You can take the 45-minute Miyakoji Rapid Service train to Nara and if you’re going to Osaka, take either the Hankyu Line or the Keihan Line. It’ll take around 45-minutes to get to Osaka or 15 minutes by high-speed train.

Kyoto Buses

Kyoto buses are a useful way of getting around the city. Download an online Kyoto bus map for free to help you plan your journey.

The Takeaway:

• See the Kyoto Transport Overview for a general summary of Kyoto transport.
• Unless you’ve got a rental bicycle, buses are the best way to get to destinations not served by subway or train lines.
• Take the train or subway instead of the bus whenever possible. Trains and subways are faster and more comfortable than buses.
• Take the bus to the northwest of town (Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ryoan-ji Temple, Myoshin-ji Temple etc).
• Take the bus to the northeast of town (Ginkaku-ji Temple, Honen-in Temple, Manshu-in Temple, Shisen-do Temple, Shugaku-in Temple).
• If you have a group of three or four people, consider taking a taxi instead of a bus for short journeys. The price is about the same and you’ll get there faster and in more comfort.
• If you plan to use the bus a lot, you should probably buy yourself a bus pass. For more details, see our Special Kyoto Bus, Train and Subway passes page
• Arm yourself with an English-language bus map. The map is called: Bus Navi: Kyoto City Bus Sightseeing Map. Pick up a hardcopy version of this map at the Kyoto Bus Information Center, just outside Kyoto Station.

How To Use The Kyoto City Bus

• Enter at the rear of the bus.
• Use coins to pay your fare into the box at the front next to the driver. The machine next to the driver will change Y500 coins and Y1000 notes.
• Exit at the front of the bus.
• When you want to get off, press the button next to your seat, on the poles or on the ceiling of the bus (you’ll known them when you see them).
• There is a flat fare for buses in the city center: Y220/110 for adults/children aged 6 to 12. Children under 6 ride for free.
• For destinations outside the city center, take a seiriken (a small numbered paper ticket) from the machine near the door where you board. Use the number of the ticket to calculate the fare when you get off. Put the ticket into the fare box along with your fare.
• Some bus stops have signs that indicate when buses are approaching the stop. All bus stops have bus timetables written in Japanese with English route numbers (so you can read them even if you don’t speak Japanese). The schedules list times for weekdays ( 平日 ), Saturdays ( 土曜日 ), and Sundays/holidays ( 日曜日 / 祝祭日).
• Three-digit bus numbers on a red background indicate loop lines. Two digit numbers on a blue background are usually north-south lines.
• Take care when you board buses: Kyoto city buses are green; Keihan buses are red and white; Kyoto buses (which serve point north of the city) are tan.

Chris Rowthorn’s Kyoto Bus Tip

Kyoto city bus #5 is almost always crowded with residents and tourists. If you’re going to the northern Higashiyama area, take the subway from Kyoto Station.

Take the Karasuma Subway Line to Karasuma-Oike Station, switch to the Tozai Subway Line and get off at Higashiyama (for the museum district) or Keage (for Nanzen-ji Temple and the Path of Philosophy/Ginkaku-ji Temple.

You can also take the Keihan Line to Demachiyanagi Station and walk to Ginkaku-ji in about 15 minutes (follow Imadegawa-dori east to the mountains).
