Secret Eastern Kyoto Biking Adventure

About this activity

Our Japanese staff guided over 200 tours from 2018 to 2020, and we're thrilled to be back in Kyoto!

If you're looking to explore Kyoto efficiently, our biking tour is the perfect choice. Unlike bus or walking tours, which can be time-consuming, our bike tours allow you to visit popular destinations in a shorter timeframe. We utilize scenic backstreets to avoid traffic and maximize your sightseeing experience.

You may think this 3 hours bike ride is too long for you,, but we will guide you with a lot of descriptions of Japanese and Kyoto cultures so you will not become bored with us.Also visiting a real temple and trying real Green tea will be one of the most memorable experiences in Kyoto!

Jump on a bicycle and enjoy the unique sights of Kyoto. Pedal through temples, stroll among shrines, and sip green tea while viewing exquisite hidden gardens. In addition we will take you to see some delightful unexpected sights.
