How it Works

Renting your bicycle

1. Choose your pick-up and drop-off point
   • We have eight conveniently located cycle terminals in Kyoto.
   • You can choose a different terminal for drop-off (for most bikes) for a 600 yen fee.
   • Unfortunately we can’t change your nominated return terminal after you’ve picked up your bike. Business hours for all our terminals are 9:00 to 18:00
     See all terminal locations
2. Choose your bike
   • We have a great range of bikes. The types available vary depending on the cycle terminal.
   • Electric-assist bikes are available at Kyoto Station and Kyoto Hachijo Gate terminals.

3. Choose your time
   • Rentals over two or more consecutive days are OK! You’ll need to have a parking lot at your accommodation, though.
   • If there isn’t a parking lot at your accommodation, we ask you to sign a daily contract to prevent illegal parking.

4. Reserve your bike
   • Reservations are recommended. You can use our booking form up to 2 days in advance.

   • Or, give us a call up to the day before.
     TEL +81-75-354-3636 / Reception hours: 9:00-18:00
   • Drop-ins are OK! If we have the stock, you can rent on the spot.

Returning your bicycle

1. Return your bike by 18:00
   • If you can’t return your bicycle at your decided drop-off terminal by 18:00, please contact us by phone.
   • Bikes not returned by 18:00 without other arrangements have to be returned after 9:00 the following day; an extension fee applies.
