Transport
The best way to access Kyoto's tourist attractions (which are
not located near subway stations) is by bus. The city is served by
multiple bus companies with direct lines from Kyoto Station and
several points in the city centre. An English map of the Kyoto City
bus network is available from tourist offices, and signs are in
English as well as Japanese. Fares are paid on leaving the bus. The
only drawback to the buses is that traffic density makes them slow
and they can become very crowded. For getting around the city
centre the subway is recommended. Two subway lines cross the city,
from north to south and east to west. Kyoto has a high
concentration of taxis, particularly in the city centre.
