Starting from RBRJ Kyoto, we make our way over to Fushimi Inari for an optional stop along the route to Tofuku-ji. At Tofuku-ji, we have the option to walk through the grounds or cycle around the impressive walls before joining the iconic and beloved Kamo River. Cycling north along the riverbank, you’ll be absorbed in the atmosphere of Kyoto. We’ll exit the Kamo River path near Reisen Dori and pass by the visually striking Heian-Jingu Shinto Shrine as we make our way to the majestic and serene Nanzen-ji, tucked in the forested foothills of Higashiyama mountain. We’ll park the bikes and walk around the spiritual Nanzen-ji complex. After Nanzen-ji, there is a small climb before descending into the often overlooked district of Yamashina. In Yamashina, we pick up the calming Yamashina River to head south, looping back to RRBJ Kyoto via the amospheric district of Chushojima, renowned for it’s sake brewing and charming canal.
