Hello. I cannot tell you which bus to take. But if you use google maps, or any other app of the kind, you will have directions on how to travel. It is not difficult to move around Kyoto. There are plenty of buses. Enjoy your trip!

Si ma andate al mattino almeno siete sicuri .. il pomeriggio chiude presto

Hi Andy, the temple is very easy access by public transport. We took bus from Kyoto Station, the only compliant we have is the bus journey is a bit too long. But if you have time, it is also a way to see different parts of Kyoto. Along the bus ride there are other temples and places of interest that you may want to explore. You will alight before the junction of Philosopher's path, walk towards the temple. You can go to the visitor centre at Kyoto Station to request for a map and buy the tourist day ticket of Yen500/pax for one day travel. Otherwise, just pay Yen230/pax flat fare for every bus ride. After the temple, you can walk via Philosophers path to the main road to take a bus back to Kyoto Station. The bus number is indicated at the bus stop.

Jacqui, the best that we did when we were in Ginkakuji last year was to head southward along the stone paved path --the Philosopher's path for a refreshing walk. Another 2 minutes from the path is the Ginkakujimae bus stop; take the Raku 100 (about 15 stops and 230 yen), followed by a 5 minutes walk to the station. We visited a couple of other temples along the Philosopher's path. Amazing indeed. A must visit place for omen---Myoudai Omen Ginkakuji Honten close by.

hallo, we visited this temple in 1 hour about...is it very very nice byeeeeeeeeeee
