Description
Join us for an all-you-can-Kyoto adventure by bicycle! We will explore several UNESCO-listed temples and shrines, such as Toji and Fushimi Inari and the geisha district of Gion with a delicious lunch
For those short on time and high on energy, we combined both courses to make a one day all-you-can-Kyoto adventure! After meeting at the shop for bike fitting, our first stop is at the oldest temple in Kyoto - Toji. From there, it's a 10 minute ride to the awe-inspiring Nishi Honganji temple. We then ride north through the Sanjo Shopping arcade and after a quick stop at the picturesque Shinsen-en gardens, onto Kitano Tenmangu shrine. After walking the grounds of the shrine, we head onto the Golden Pavilion, which we enter (fee included) and explore for approximately 25 minutes. From here, we head east towards the Imperial Palace, stopping for a traditional Japanese lunch on the way. After lunch, we pick up the Kamo River and head south into the backstreets of Gion, Kyoto's famous Geisha district. The last leg of the journey heads south through Tofukuji Temple and onto the spectacular torii gates of Fushimi Inari sAll hrine before heading home.
