There are many bus stops in the Shijo Kawaramachi area of Kyoto, and it can be quite chaotic. It’s best to have a sense of direction so as not to get confused with the stops. Let me first introduce the types of bus stops you will encounter here.
Fourjo Kawaramachi refers to the intersection of Shijo Street and Kawaramachi Street. This intersection is bustling with activity, so there are many bus stops in all directions to avoid congestion. The bus stops are strategically placed to ensure smooth traffic flow.
The most common one is the Kyoto City Bus, with a simple round design and timetable information. Please note that there is a code “G” on the bus stop sign, indicating that this is the G bus stop.
Another common type of signboard is also frequently seen. Not only does it clearly indicate the current location and timetable, but it also shows how far the current vehicle has reached. Some even inform you about how much longer until the vehicle arrives…
This is the sign for the 100 yuan circular bus.
In addition, this type of bus stop is shared by other buses. Since there are fewer buses from other companies, they are consolidated into one bus stop. Take this as an example, this bus stop serves Keihan Bus, Kyoto Bus, and Osaka Airport Bus.
This is only available for Keihan Bus and Kyoto Bus.
Next, this is the less common Princess Line. As there is only one station here, it goes to either Kyoto Women’s University or Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit.
Above is the introduction to the bus stops you will see in Shijo Kawaramachi. There may be some stops that I missed, but the content should not be too different. Finally, I will provide the bus stop map for Shijo Kawaramachi that beginners may find useful. You should be able to clearly see which bus to take. I referred to the bus map data provided by Kyoto City, visited the actual locations, and also conducted research using Google Maps. Since I couldn’t find any specific rules or tricks, the only option is to rely on the map.
