Highlights
Kyoto is renowned for its bicycle-friendly streets, and cycling is a quintessential part of everyday life for locals. Join the ranks of Kyoto’s cyclists as you navigate mostly flat paths with a few gentle slopes as you discover the city’s iconic landmarks and must-visit sights on a “Mama-chari” bike tour!
A “Mamachari” bike – which translates to “mom’s bike” – is a type of bicycle commonly used in Japan, particularly by mothers and students. Get to pedal your way through beloved attractions including the majestic Heian Jingu Shrine, the serene Nanzenji Zen Temple, the picturesque Philosopher’s Path, and more.
You’ll also get to cycle along the peaceful Kamogawa River, the historic Biwako Canal, and the prestigious Kyoto University, all while listening to your friendly TripGuru share stories about the city’s development, vibrant culture, and Shinto and Buddhist philosophies.
Along the journey, soak in the rich history and culture of each site, immersing yourself in the essence of Kyoto. Whether you’re exploring in the heat of summer or the crispness of winter, cycling offers a refreshing way to take in the beauty of the city. Feel the cool breeze on your face.
