Getting around in Kyoto: Bus Pass

Did you know that Kyoto City has a one-day bus pass you can buy instead of paying for every ride?

A one-day pass for the Kyoto City Bus

This is quite practical for tourists, as 240 yen for a ride really isn't that cheap. With the bus pass you pay 500 yen, and you can ride as many times as you want during that day within the city (note that some outskirts areas such as Arashiyama is not included in the ticket).

In Kyoto you pay for the bus ride when you get off the bus, and if you want a one-day pass you can simply say "ichinichi jyoshaken kudasai" (一日乗車券下さい) to the bus driver.
