500 yen Kyoto city bus pass 2011/12/17 03:42
Hi there. I've arranged my planning on visit to Kyoto. I am interested to use the Kyoto City Bus Pass during my visit. As I understand, the pass are only valid within a region for 500yen. Unfortunately, I am not sure whether the places that I would like to visit are allocated within that 500 yen area. So, by listing my visits can anyone tell whether I can use the pass without any additional charge?

Day 1: Ginkakuji, Kyoto Handicraft Center, Kyoto Int Manga Museum, Demachiyanagi Station.
Day 2: Kiyomizudera Temple and Gion District
Day 3: Fushimi Inari Shrine
Day 4: Kinkakuji and Arashiyama.

By having this information, so I know what pass that I need to buy whether Kyoto City Bus Pass or Kyoto Sightseeing Pass. Thank you.

The area of validity is shown by the white background on the following map (fat, colorful Kyoto City Bus lines only):

So, everything on your list is covered except Arashiyama. And access to Fushimi Inari by bus is not convenient. Access by train is recommended. If it is the only thing you see on day 3, a day pass is unlikely to pay off, anyway.

Totally OK!

Only the northern remote area are excluded like MAMIYAMA-JINJA shrine.


But I must point out one thing ,
To visit Fushimi inari, as the bus runs not so oftenly, Ud better use JR local line or Keihan Railway from TOFUKUJI temple or SANJU-SANGENDO- temple area.

Thank guys. Now I understand. I think I'll use Kyoto City Bus All Day Pass for 2 days, and I 'll take Keikufu Railways to Fushimi Inari Shrine. I hope there's no problem to wait for bus.
