The Sightseeing Loop Bus is a cheap and convenient alternative that makes a loop around the cultural area, with stops near the castle, garden, and museums. It only costs ¥100 to ride, regardless of where you get off. It only takes 5 minutes to get to the castle.
The Loop Bus only covers the area around the castle, so for those wanting to visit sites beyond this area, such as Engyoji, you will need to take the city bus.

To see the castle, as well as many of the other sites, it's only a 10-15 minute walk down Otemae-dÅri from the station. Along the way, you'll also pass shopping centers and souvenir shops.
