Hi there,

JR doesn't operate a very large service within Kyoto (there is a service to Arashiyama), so most people get around on foot or by using the non-JR bus or metro network. I recommend the bus service - you can pick up an all day bus pass for ¥500 on arrival at JR Kyoto station.

Hope this helps!
