In order to solve the problem of congestion on some city bus routes in Kyoto, the "Sightseeing Express Bus" began service on Saturday, June 1. One route runs from Kyoto Station to Gojozaka near Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and the other route runs from Kyoto Station to Ginkaku-dera Temple via Gojozaka, Gion, and other sightseeing spots, in order to separate the use of the buses by citizens and tourists.
