Discover a slower, more personal side of Kyoto on this small-group bento and bicycle tour. Begin your day with a hands-on bento-making class, preparing a traditional lunch of tamago-yaki, onigiri, and octopus sausages, packed in eco-friendly furoshiki. Vegetarian and vegan options available with notice, or receive a discount if you skip lunch prep.

Then hop on a comfortable bike and explore Kyoto’s quiet backstreets, riverside paths, and peaceful spiritual sites — far from the crowds. The tour is led by a warm older couple: a Japanese local woman and her German husband, a veteran Kyoto cycling guide who speaks four languages.

Choose from two routes:

Route A visits Yoshida Shrine, Philosopher’s Path, Nanzenji, and Heian Shrine, with lunch in Okazaki Park.

Route B heads north to Shimogamo Shrine, Kyoto Botanical Gardens, and Kamigamo Shrine, with lunch among the flowers.

Both end with an optional sake tasting and a café wind-down.
