Kyoto Morning Travel Options

Hi,
I'm staying near the Shijo/Karasuma dori junction and wonder which is the fastest way to get to Gojosaka in the morning rush hrs:
(a)by bus along Shijo street east to Gion, then by bus south to Gojosaka
(b)by Hankyu train east to Kawaramachi, walk 300m to Keihan Shijo station, then by Keihan train to Gojo station, then walk east 700m.
Or is there any other way? Thank you.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the traffic situation of Shijodori during morning rush hours, but I remember my wife sitting in a bus along Shijodori for about 30 minutes for a 500 meter journey during evening rush hours.

I personally would walk. About 20 minutes along Shijo and then through the pleasant lanes of Higashiyama to Gojozaka and Kiyomizudera. About 35-45 minutes in total.

avoid the buses in rush hour, definitely.
Agree with Uji to walk, but if time is a problem then go with option b

Uji, Fmj, thanks for your help!

In Kyoto they often say that walking is faster than taking bus.

If you take trains, all stations locates underground. Besides, when you change trains, you must go upstairs to the surface at the Kawaramachi-station, walk across the Kamo River, and go downstairs to the Sijo-station.

So Agree with Uji and fmj, I also think walking is a good way to go there.
