Full Description
Start your morning in one of Kyoto’s most iconic districts with a relaxing and scenic bike ride through Arashiyama. Meet your guide near Saga-Arashiyama Station and gear up for an unforgettable exploration of this culturally rich area.
Ride into the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, where the towering green stalks sway gently in the breeze. With fewer tourists in the early hours, you’ll be able to enjoy the forest’s natural tranquility at its best.
