Kyoto cycling city tour
Explore Japan’s capital of culture and history on two wheels! Cycling tours are a great way to cover lots of ground in a short space of time, get a bit of exercise, and (most importantly) they offer the chance to explore the backstreets and really soak up the atmosphere of the city.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the city of Kyoto sits in a flat basin making it an easy place to explore by bike. In addition you'll find quiet backstreets, wide pavements with cycle tracks and long pathways along the Kamo River which runs through the centre of the city.
InsideJapan can arrange bike hire for you to explore Kyoto either independently or accompanied by a guide. A typical guided tour will see you cycling through the Gion geisha district, through the grounds of the Imperial Palace, past traditional shops, wooden tea houses and to Nishiki food market.
