Kyoto Hidden Lanes: 3-Hour Bike Adventure with English Guide

Meet-up

Departure Times: 9:30 AM & 1:30 PM

Navigate the historic streets of Gion and Miyagawa-cho, where the traditional architecture and cobblestone pathways transport you back in time. This area is the very soul of Kyoto, where every corner has a story to tell. And if you're fortunate, you might catch a glimpse of a Maiko in her exquisite kimono, adding to the timeless charm of the district.

Shift gears as you approach the serene Shirakawa river sidewalk. Here, the world seems to slow down. The clear waters mirror the sky, and the gentle rustling of leaves harmonizes with the soft gurgling of the stream. This stretch is more than just a ride; it's a refreshing embrace by nature.

The journey continues to the grand Kyoto Imperial Palace and the iconic Kamo River. The palace grounds, with their meticulously manicured gardens and ancient structures, whisper tales of emperors and ceremonies from centuries past. Meanwhile, the Kamo River, with its wide banks and scenic bridges, showcases the daily life of Kyoto's residents, from morning exercises to evening strolls.

As the tour ends, if you're captivated by Kyoto's allure and wish to explore further, you can extend your bicycle ride. For a nominal fee of 500 yen, you can keep the bicycle and continue your personal exploration, uncovering more of Kyoto's hidden gems.
