Overview

Let's start our adventure early while other travellers are still in bed. Our bike tour begins with the refreshing scenery of the Kamo River, a beloved spot for Kyoto residents. We'll explore Gion's high streets and hidden gems, then ride up to Kiyomizu-dera, where we'll admire the temple grounds. Even without entering, the view of Kyoto's cityscape is breathtaking.

We'll breeze through the charming area of traditional machiya houses in the Kiyomizu district, taking photos with the famous Yasaka Pagoda in the background. The Starbucks Yasaka store, renovated from two over 100-year-old machiyas, is worth a visit. We'll return to Gion, pass through Maruyama Park, and ride under Heian Shrine's massive torii gate.

This marks the end of our official tour, but there are many more spots to see on the way back. Feel free to ask your guide for recommendations to make the most of your day ahead. With an optional add-on, you can return the bike by 5 PM and choose your preferred drop-off location.
