Arashiyama Kinkakuji Quiet Trail E-Bike Tour with Hotel Transfer
Description
Kyoto is a big city with many cars and many traffic lights. It is difficult to cycle comfortably there without a guide. First, you will cycle through the old town near Kinkakuji Temple. After seeing the temple, you will continue along an old road that has been around for over 1000 years and is surrounded by lush nature. Beyond that, there are few people and the most important sacred place of Arashiyama, the Emperor's Tombs area. After cycling through the atmospheric preserved area, we will ride along the wildest forest road along the river with a history of 1200 years. Around the mysterious road where no cars pass, you can see the Jizo statues and castle walls that give you a sense of history. The sounds of the trolley trains and boats going down the river are also fun. And the best E-Bikes and professional guides will support you.

Best time ever. Off the beaten path got to see more than your typical tourist stuff. Both guides were amazing and made sure we were safe. If you want to see more of the countryside, farms this it it for you
My wife and I had the best time. Our guides were very polite and helpful. We were off the major tourist trails in peaceful neighbourhoods or beauty scenery. I could recommend this company highly. We have been on many cycle tours around the world and this rates among the best. June and Argo, hope I got names correct were the best
