One day bike tour to southern part of Kyoto, Uji and Fushimi
Joined 2023
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.

“Amazing experience biking with an expert guide ”
We had the best time experiencing Kyoto with Ryuichiro. He was so friendly, smart, thoughtful and fun to be with! There were so many things that he showed us that were unique and we never would have known about them without being f with a local who is so knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto! I highly recommend him especially if you love biking! All the routes were great and also flat. We were sad to say goodbye as he is truly a wonderful person and a great guide! Hope you come to New York soon Ryuichiro!

“Incredible bike ride through Kyoto with expert guide ”
We were so fortunate to go with Ryuichiro for two amazing days do exploring Kyoto on bikes. He is so knowledgeable , friendly and kind and made the entire experience super fun! We had so many amazing encounters because he was always taking us to special places we could never find on our own. The best part was also biking Kyoto with a guide that knows the city inside and out. He is such a great person and we enjoyed being with him, plus we all fell in love with Kyoto.

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
