If you walk another 20 minutes from here you can also see the Eikando Temple and the Nanzenji Temple.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Raku_buses\"><strong> Raku buses<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alternatively, there are a number of tourist buses, known as Raku buses, which connect a number of Kyoto\u2019s points of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raku Bus 100<\/strong> leaves Kyoto Station every 10 minutes between 7:40 and 17:00, stopping at the National Museum &amp; Sanjusangendo Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Gion, Heian-jingu Shrine, and Ginkaku-ji Temple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raku Bus 101<\/strong> leaves Kyoto Station every 15 minutes between 8:00 and 16.30, stopping at Kyoto Station, Nijo-jo Castle, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Daitokuji Temple and the Kitaoji Bus Terminal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raku Bus 102<\/strong> leaves the Ginkaku-ji-michi bus stop every 30 minutes between 8:04 and 16:34, stopping at Ginkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Daitokuji Temple, and Kitaoji Bus Terminal.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Taxis_in_Kyoto\">Taxis in Kyoto<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>In downtown Kyoto<\/strong>, you will also find taxis waiting at nearly every street corner, at all times of day and night.<\/p>\n<p>When hailing a taxi, pay attention to the light located next to the driver. A <strong>red light means the taxi is available<\/strong>, while a green or blue light indicates that the taxi is already in the service of another customer.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, taxi doors open and close automatically, so don\u2019t worry about shutting the door when you exit.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting a taxi, keep in mind that <strong>the MK or Yasaka companies<\/strong> \u2013 marked with a clover icon \u2013<strong> are generally cheaper<\/strong>. Whichever service you use, you may expect to pay about \u00a5640 for the first two kilometers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: When telling your driver where you would like to go, naming an intersection, restaurant, or attraction is often more efficient than giving him a specific address.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Walking_and_biking\"><strong>Walking and biking<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kyoto\u2019s street grid system makes it <strong>simple for both pedestrians and cyclists<\/strong> to find their way around.<\/p>\n<p>In Kyoto, main streets run either north to south or east to west. North-south streets are given names, while east-west streets are given numbers. Keeping this in mind can aid you in orienting yourself and understanding the direction in which you are traveling. The flat terrain makes this city ideal for touring on foot.<\/p>\n<p>As you will likely not have your own bicycle with you, <strong>many bike rental stores<\/strong> are available in Kyoto, especially in <strong>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/arashiyama-bamboo-forest\">Arashiyama area<\/a><\/strong>. You may rent a bicycle for a few hours or up to two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Prices range <strong>from \u00a5500 per day to \u00a52000 per week<\/strong>. Be advised that in the city center and near train stations, bikes must be parked in designated areas. Bike parking usually costs \u00a5150 for up to eight hours.
