How Does it work?
Your ticket for the bus will have a validity of either 24 or 48 consecutive hours from the time it's used. That is to say, if you buy a 24-hour ticket and activate it on a Monday at 3 pm, the ticket will be valid until Tuesday at 3 pm. During this time, you can hop on and off the bus as many times as you'd like.
Schedules
The Kyoto Tourist Bus operates every day of the week throughout the year, from 9 am to 6 pm, with a frequency of every 40 minutes.
