What is a hop-on hop-off bus?
What is a hop-on hop-off bus?
“Hop on/off ＋vehicle” means to “jump on the vehicle/jump off the vehicle”. This means that you can just jump on the bus and visit tourist sites (via the bus stop), and the casual and free nature of this is expressed in the popular name “hop”. This is a convenient bus where, provided you buy a special pass, you can get on and off as many times as you like as long as you do this during the set period/time.
FEATURE１
- Freely enjoy boarding and alighting!!
- We have a route for exploring every inch of central Kyoto! Of course, you can get on/off as many times as you like on either route. There are 13 bus stops within Kyoto, so feel free to use the pass at the location of your choice. You can arrange things for your own convenience. The pass is definitely recommended for people who enjoy such things. You can freely enjoy Kyoto sightseeing at your own pace!
FEATURE２
- Enjoy Tokyo from a different perspective to usual!
- Is it possible you could discover new attractions in Kyoto from the open deck of a double decker bus that you would not normally find just walking around the town? Additionally, voice sightseeing guidance has been provided within the bus. The sightseeing information provided is the knowledge of the guide in concentrated form, so you do not need to be concerned about overlooking important information about the sightseeing locations.
FEATURE３
- Just sit and enjoy a wide range of sightseeing spots in an efficient way!
- When accessing Kyoto sightseeing spots, it can be really inconvenient changing buses and it takes time to go around on your own. Unless you use a taxi, it can be really troublesome. There are bus stops at the regular tourist bus stop as soon as you come out of the Karasumaru exit of Kyoto station, as well as Karasuma Gojo and Jijo Karasuma, where there are lots of places to stay, so it is very convenient for Kyoto sightseeing! And as you will always be able to sit down in the bus, so you can travel around in comfort!
