Hop on an electric-assist bicycle for a luxury cycling tour away from the bustling downtown center of Kyoto! Ride through the lush nature and tranquil, historic temples of Higashiyama, followed by a refreshing breeze along the Kamo River.
Discover the rich history of northern Kyoto, including Imamiya Shrine (famous as the ‘Tamanoshi’ matchmaking shrine), the World Heritage Kamigamo Shrine, and Shoden-ji—a quiet hidden gem known for its stunning dry landscape garden framing views of Mt. Hiei. Along the way, indulge in authentic Kyoto sweets like ‘Aburi-mochi’ from a shop with a thousand-year history, as well as Kamigamo’s local favorite, ‘Yaki-mochi.’
The second half of the tour takes you south along the breezy, green Kamo River promenade toward the Senke district, the historic heart of Japanese tea culture. It is a premium half-day route where North Kyoto’s rich nature and city history merge to satisfy both body and soul.
