Kyoto bus with the JR pass

Hi,

You mention that the JR pass can be used on the below mentioned bus.

Kyoto Station - Ryoanji - Takao

I am unable to dig up any more information. Like the stops on the way, periodicity of departures etc.

Could you please let me know.

Thomas

Thankyou Uji,

However, I am unable to read Japanese. Would you be able to let me know if I can use the JR bus to visit the following.

Ninnaji Temple
Ryoanji Temple
Kinkakuji Temple

Thankyou
Thomas

Arukumachikyoto website is very useful but you must do the search by yourself.

Select from the pulldown menu "West JR Bus" and "Takao Keihoku Line (via Ritsumeikan)". You can see the route map and will find the nearest bus stops.

Select "West JR Bus" and "Takao Keihoku Line (via Ritsumeikan)".

Select the starting bus stop and then select the destination bus stop from the pulldown menu and then press the "change" button.

Hope this helps.

Thankyou so much! Very helpful information!

That's a saving of up to 500yen!
