ABOUT US
“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.

Free to hop on and off!
Navigate Kyoto’s premier attractions with our hop on hop off bus service, designed for your convenience. With 14 strategic stops across the city, you have the freedom to board and alight as you wish, crafting a journey that starts from the spot you love most. Pressed for time? Opt for our Green or Purple Courses to efficiently explore the sights. Set your own tempo and savor the beauty of Kyoto, your way.

A different experience than usual!
Is it possible you could discover new attractions in Tokyo 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.
