    The most convenient way is to use a mix of buses, trains, and walking, depending on your destination.

    Buses: Cover almost all tourist spots. Great for short distances or direct temple access, but can be slow during peak hours.

    Subway & Trains: Faster for longer distances. Use an IC card (ICOCA, Suica, PASMO) to ride without buying tickets each time.

    Bicycles: Perfect for flat areas like Arashiyama or around Gion.
