This is a special cycling tour which helps you feel the genuine Kyoto and the local vibes. We will be following cycling routes which were carefully selected by experienced staff at Kyoto's largest bicycle rental company, serving about 30,000 people a year.
We are Kyoto ECO Trip, a rental bicycle company based in the heart of Kyoto and our aim is to raise awareness of the brilliance of riding a bicycle in the beautiful Kyoto. Bicycle rides help us find the hidden beauty of Kyoto that most tourists are likely to overlook and we hope this tour helps you see things you are not able to see when you take public transport like subways, buses, and taxis.
First, you get to exlpore the famous thousands of the torii gates in Fushimi Inari Shrine. Next, the popular gion area and the beautiful Nanzen-ji Temple are also our stop. There are a few of the popular spots you make a quick stop during our stop such as Sanjusangendo Templeand the Heian-Jingu Shirne.
