taxi costs in Kyoto

May I ask, if anyone would know the approximate taxi cost:

from Kyoto Station - Gion
or from Kyoto Station - Marayuma Park

we are travelling 2 of us, and just wondering if we should catch the bus, or just take a taxi for convenience.

also, I will be staying in Oohara for one night in April. Does anyone know what time the busses from Kyoto - Oohara (vice versa) run until?

many thanks for your answers. I can't wait to travel.

from Kyoto Station - Gion
or from Kyoto Station - Marayuma Park
About 1000 yen.

Does anyone know what time the busses from Kyoto - Oohara (vice versa) run until?

From Kyoto to Oohara, 20:15
From Oohara to Kyoto, 19:00
But, there're other ways to come back to Kyoto station. You can take a bus to Kokusaikaikan (21:25 is the final)and switch to the subway.

you can pick up bus schedules at Kyoto station at the information office. They are fairly easy to read. (kind of like a cartoon map of Kyoto) It list bus numbers and routes they travel. They go pretty much everywhere in Kyoto.

A one-day bus ticket is just 500 yen. you can buy it at the same information office.

Thanks so much for the details guys. Its very helpful.
