Overview

Perfect for groups and individuals (from 145cm!) looking for a unique perspective on the city, this e-bike tour explores the highlights of south and east Kyoto. We meet bright and early for a short orientation before heading south to enjoy the majestic Fushimi Inari Shrine before the crowds arrive. From here we will catch the splendour of Tofukuji Temple before stopping for a morning coffee. The next part of our journey takes us up the Kamo river and over to the UNESCO listed Ginkakuji Temple. After Ginkakuji, we will roll slowly south down the iconic Path of Philosophy and into the grounds of Nanzenji Temple (complete with traditional gardens, ornate religious buildings and even a red brick aquaduct). After a sit down lunch (provided), the last leg of our journey takes us south along the Shirakawa Canal and through the streets of Gion before returning to base. * Must be 13+ to participate as a rider

Magical day!

Published on Nov, 2024

We took this tour with small family including our younger son and it was the best experience! The day was beautiful and the leaves were changing color so it was extra special. The ebikes make the journey so easy. Jay was an excellent tour guide, patient, knowledgable and enthusiastic. He navigated us through busy streets perfectly and we also got to bike along peaceful waterways. This is one of the best activities we have done on our journey and I highly recommend it.

Fun Way to See Kyoto

Published on Nov, 2024

The ebikes were a fun way to see Kyoto. Going through back alleys to see the temples and riding along the river was beautiful. Lunch was delicious!!

Exploring by e-bike.

We had a fabulous time with Quinn. E-biking around the city is a great way to cover lots of ground quickly. We saw a lot of sites and Quinn provided lots of information. You will love it.

Thanks Julian, good times

Published on Nov, 2024

Great way to see Kyoto, a combination of the major sites and local streets. Coffee shop stop was hip, lunch place was delightful. Julian gave us a lot of insight on Japanese culture from an outsider perspective. Learned a lot, and had a great time. Ebikes were definitely the way to go for covering as much ground as we did.

Awesome temple tour
