What To Expect

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Your guide will stop with you near Kiyomizudera Temple, one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks. From this viewpoint, you’ll hear about the temple’s rich history, its famous wooden stage overlooking the city, and the spiritual significance of the surrounding grounds. If you’d like to enter the inner areas, such as the Main Hall, the Kiyomizu Stage, and Otowa Waterfall, an entrance ticket is required (around ¥500–¥600). However, you’re also welcome to enjoy the surrounding historic area and browse the many famous traditional shops and snack stalls nearby without entering the paid zone.

Chion-in Temple

Your guide will lead you through the towering Sanmon Gate, the largest wooden gate in Japan, into Chionin Temple, the head temple of the Jodo Pure Land Buddhist sect. You’ll step inside the grand Mieido Hall, where centuries of tradition come alive, and walk across the famous nightingale floors that chirp with each step. Hear legends like the forgotten umbrella that protects the temple and see the 74-ton bell, one of Japan’s largest. With peaceful gardens, rich history, and stunning architecture, this stop offers a powerful glimpse into Kyoto’s spiritual and cultural soul.

We did the 3 hour tour with our kids and it was perfect. Not too long for the little ones but enough to see hidden temples and quiet streets. The guide kept everyone engaged and happy.
Fun for the whole family

Loved this tour! The e-bikes made it super easy to get around, and our guide, Yonnie, was so friendly and full of stories. We saw quiet temples and shrine, hidden streets, and even got to try some mochi along the way. Perfect for families or anyone who wants to explore Kyoto beyond the usual tourist spots.

I had a great bike tour in Kyoto with Yonnie! It was a great time for me and my family since we only spent 2 days in Kyoto. We explored several places and street that was not crowded. We felt like we were riding like a local
We had such a great time - thank you, Yonnie!

The day we chose for this bike tour was very hot, but the guide adjusted the pace to suit us, taking breaks along the way and guiding us at a relaxed tempo. Although the tour took a little over five hours, the guide was very kind, gave thorough explanations, and had a wonderful smile. I highly recommend this tour.
