PRIVATE East Gems of Kyoto – On Bike


Temples, tree-lined canals, and a breeze in your hair—explore Kyoto’s eastern wonders the fun way: by bike.

If you're looking for a more immersive way to discover Kyoto, this is it. Our relaxed ride takes you along peaceful backstreets and riverside lanes, away from the tourist crush and into the quiet beauty of local life. With your guide leading the way, you'll visit some of Kyoto’s most scenic and meaningful sites—with stories and context that bring it all to life.


🚲 Scene Setting

The ride winds through Kyoto’s leafy east side, where temple rooftops peek out over garden walls and canals shimmer beneath willow trees. You’ll pass moss-covered gates, stroll through Zen temple grounds, and stop at iconic spots like Heian Shrine, with its massive torii gate and grand pond garden.

The real showstopper? Ginkakuji—the Silver Pavilion. Nestled at the foot of the eastern mountains, this elegant temple was built by a shogun with a poetic soul, and its raked sand gardens and mossy paths still exude quiet sophistication.

Since each guide brings their own rhythm, the route may vary slightly—but every version promises a full dose of Kyoto charm.
