Discover Kyoto on two wheels! This unique guided bike tour takes you along scenic streets, historic canals, and the tranquil banks of the Kamo River.

Our first stop is one of the city’s grandest shrine gardens. After a peaceful stroll through these masterfully designed grounds, we cycle to a renowned Zen monastery known for its impressive architecture and rich history.

 

Continuing along charming waterways and quiet paths, we reach one of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks—the Silver Pavilion. Surrounded by exquisite moss and dry landscape gardens, this architectural treasure is our final sight before an exciting ride back. The return journey leads us gently downhill along the riverbank and scenic backstreets, bringing us safely back to the bike rental shop.

 

Along the route, I am happy to recommend great lunch spots, including vegetarian options (lunch costs are not included in the tour price).
