In this tour, we can visit all the must-see places in the southern part of Kyoto together. Fushimi, known for the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousand torii gates and sake breweries, and Uji, famous for its matcha and the Phoenix Hall, each hold a unique position in Kyoto. During this tour, I, who have lived in Uji for three years and now work in Fushimi, will share the charm of these two towns from a local's perspective, as we explore by bicycle.

“Magical trip to the mountain ”
I highly recommend this tour and Ryuichiro as a guide. He guided me through a serene day in the mountain that was the best of the 10 days I was in Japan. He is accommodating, thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind. His love for nature really showed me how peaceful Japan is. It is a beautiful country defined by its natural beauty that transcends chaos.

Dear Ying-ya san, Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly honored to hear that our day together in the mountains was the highlight of your trip to Japan. It means a great deal to me. If you ever return to Japan, I would be delighted to guide you again. Wishing you all the best until then! Ryuichiro Mine
