You can visit this area direct from Kyoto Station by bus in about 45 minutes. Take the 101 or 205 bus to get to Kinkakuji, or take the 26 bus to get to Ninnaji. Once you get there, the 59 bus operates every 12-15 minutes between Kinkakuji and Ninnaji, so you can visit three UNESCO world heritage sites - Kinkakuji, Ryoanji and Ninnaji - in one day.
