One example would be in the Northwest region where you might go to Daitokuji then to Kinkakuji finally to Ryoanji. This would constitute 3 bus rides. Am not sure what is your threshold for "too much" for a cab ride, but I do find cabs somewhat expensive in Japan in general.

Btw, there is also a subway+bus day pass which you can consider as well, however, the subway network is somewhat limited, so the bus is more value for money.
I understood you. I also found on Google Maps that getting from Hoshinoya Kyoto to those tourist sights requires 2-3 bus segments. So I unconsciously merged the two pieces of information together. What I really meant was if I had to take three buses, which would be the case for quite a few tourist sights from Hoshinoya, I might as well call a cab.

Anyway, there's no easy way from west to east according to Google Maps, so
