Why Travelers Love This
This is the best way to enjoy Kyoto's hi-light with a bike view, avoiding the crowd. We are a team of local Japanese guides based in Kyoto who have a deep love for this city and take great delight in showcasing its stunning views and attractions to foreign guests. We ride a bike on every single street in Kyoto Since we have been living or commuting in Kyoto for years. Bike touring is our lifework. 20 Mar - 10 Apr: the BEST for Sakura. Apr-Jun is a nice season with the weather and fresh green. Kyoto is a very flat city and not big. We'll take you to many beautiful spots, temples, shrines, riverside roads, universities, hidden local gems, etc in Kyoto's northeast cultural area through an uncrowded scenic route. The bike is very well-maintained and comfortable. After the bike, you can enjoy a night walk in Gion's scenic cultural area too.
