Experience the charm of south and east Kyoto through an early-morning guided tour on our brand-new e-bikes. We’ll rendezvous for a swift briefing and then set off towards the grand Fushimi Inari Shrine, where we aim to beat the typical tourist crowd. Our next stop is the impressive Tofukuji Temple after which we’ll take a coffee break at a cherished local cafe. As our journey continues, we’ll make our way along the Kamo River and head towards the UNESCO-designated Ginkakuji Temple. Post-Ginkakuji, we’ll leisurely navigate down the well-known Path of Philosophy which leads to the Nanzenji Temple’s spectacular gardens, ornate religious buildings, and a fascinating red brick aqueduct. Following a sit-down lunch (included), the last section of our tour will lead us along the Shirakawa Canal, weaving through the streets of Gion district, until we reach Higashi Honganji Temple’s gates and eventually circle back to our starting point.
