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.

5.00Our family of five (including three teens - 13, 17, 19) all loved this tour. Aki was a very knowledgeable guide and took many family photos of us at various stops. Our kids said this was their favorite activity in Kyoto!
What a great way to see...

5.00We really enjoyed our morning cycle ride with our guide. She took us along the quieter backstreets en route to our destinations. This was our first time riding in a city in Japan but we felt safe with our guide who went at a good pace for us and checked with us regularly. She also gave us good explanations at each stop and stopped at points of interest on the way. The e-bikes were easy to operate and comfortable to ride. A memorable experience!
I really enjoyed the ride...

5.00We had a fabulous time with Sato! She was so sweet and kind and gave us fantastic food recommendations for after our tour! The ride was well thought out to avoid as much pedestrian traffic as possible and still gave us great views and explanations. The bikes were more traditional style and not too bulky.
A great way to see Kyoto!!

5.00This tour was probably the highlight of our 2 week trip to Japan and we could not recommend it more. The weather wasn't ideal (chilly and mostly cloudy) but that did not detract from a wonderful experience. Aki was a fun, knowledgeable, and thoughtful guide (and great personal photographer!). We appreciated getting to some of the more popular stops early on so as to avoid the crowds. The ebikes made navigating a breeze, and made getting around an unfamiliar city less daunting. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommended

5.00We went cycling (3 people) on the 31st of May. Even though it was a bit rainy at the end, we had an amazing day! Our tour guide Ryuto was a very nice and knowledgeable guy. Any questions we had (and we asked a lot), he was able to answer or find out very quickly. He safely guided us through the streets of Kyoto and past the Kamo river and made this tour a lot of fun! It was not too difficult to cycle, but if your stamina isn't the greatest you can choose to ride an electric bike for a small fee. The company also provides you with water bottles and a raincoat in case of upcoming rain, which we greatly appreciated ;) It was a fun and unique way of exploring Kyoto, so I highly recommend taking this tour!
