Itinerary

Heian Shrine

Passing by

After being kitted out with your e-bike we will cycle for approximately 15 minutes to Heian Shrine. We will pedal through the iconic Torii gate as we make our way to some of Kyoto’s best secret gems.
Enkoji Temple

2 hours Admission included

After our cycle from Heian Jingu we will step into a quiet, tucked-away shrine steeped in the history of Shintoism. Here, you’ll explore age-old rituals and spiritual traditions that lie at the core of Japanese culture, all within a peaceful setting far from the usual tourist paths. From here, we’ll cycle a short way to a historic Zen temple, home to stunning gardens and its own peaceful bamboo forest—a beautiful retreat in true Kyoto!
Shimogamo Jinja

one hour

After trying a local delicacy we will cycle to one of the oldest and most historic shrines in Japan. We will then cycle for approximately 20 minutes along the Kamo River back to the bike shop where before leaving I can give local recommendations for the rest of your time in beautiful Kyoto.
