Cycling by the water in Kyoto

An intimate route, never tiring, away from the crowds and off the beaten track, to explore Kyoto's best neighbourhoods along the Kamogawa River.

Why a guided bike tour?

With a bike, you can ride through a considerable part of the northern part of the city, along its waterways and narrow streets, in just a few hours and in a fun way. Kyoto being a relatively flat city, there's no aching the next day!

Discover the secret Kyoto

Experience small, unexpected details, whole streets lined with "machiya", the traditional houses of Kyoto, the imposing door of a temple, the small neighbourhood shrine nestled on a few square metres of pavement and old signs with incomprehensible characters that your guide will be happy to translate for you.

A visit in the open air, at your own pace

 Depending on the group's mood, a break is provided for Zen meditation or just for some food.

 The meeting point at the bike rental company, the most central and easily accessible from your place of stay, will be confirmed by email at least one week before.

 Not recommended for 6 - 12 year olds.
