This scenic riverside ride will take you on a wonderful cycling route along the quiet Uji and Yamashina Rivers before looping back into the historic and temple-filled Higashiyama district of Kyoto. The route deliberately avoids the crowded areas of Kyoto so the wheels can keep turning and you enjoy a nice 30km leisurely cycle ride. We explore beautiful Kyoto neighborhoods and vistas, as we ride up to the peaceful and secluded Sennyuji Shrine. A great ride for cyclists with a small window of opportunity for cycling while in Japan.

Itinerary
Starting from RBRJ Kyoto, we make our way over to Fushimi Inari for an optional stop along the route to Tofuku-ji. At Tofuku-ji, we have the option to walk through the grounds or cycle around the impressive walls before joining the iconic and beloved Kamo River. Cycling north along the riverbank, you’ll be absorbed in the atmosphere of Kyoto.
