Oplev Kyoto med cykel på fuld dagstur
Beskrivelse
Oplev Kyoto som en lokal – på to hjul! Denne immersive heldags cykeltur blander berømte landemærker som Silver Pavilion og Gion med mindre kendte perler som HonenIn Garden og de charmerende gader i Miyagawacho. Vores lille gruppeoplevelse tilbyder et afslappet tempo, personlige indsigter fra en lokal guide og masser af fotostop undervejs. Du vil udforske rolige baggader, historiske helligdomme og vandrestier, som turistbusser simpelthen ikke kan nå. Perfekt for dem, der ønsker at se den virkelige Kyoto ud over vejledninger.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi begynder turen på Toji, et UNESCO-verdensarvsted berømt for sin fem-etagers pagode - det højeste trætårn i Japan. Du vil nyde en fredelig tur gennem dens tempelområder og lære om dens rolle i Kyotos åndelige historie.
Når vi ankommer til Umekoji Park, vil du føle skiftet fra byens stress til brede åbne grønne rum. Denne park er en favorit flugt for lokalbefolkningen, med sæsonbestemte blomster, skyggefulde træer og en rolig dam, hvor du kan pause og trække vejret. Det er det perfekte sted at strække benene, nyde den friske luft og tage en anden side af Kyoto, før vi fortsætter vores tur.
Gå gennem campus af en af Kyotos ældste private universiteter, grundlagt af Nishi Hongwanji sekten af buddhismen. Det er en mulighed for at få et glimt af det daglige liv i moderne Kyoto og sætte pris på blandingen af tradition og uddannelse.
Et stort tempel for Jodo Shinshu buddhisme, denne UNESCO-site er kendt for sin udsøgte træarkitektur og historisk betydning. Din guide vil guide dig gennem sin store gårdhave og forklare dens indflydelse på Kyotos kultur.
Cykling langs den maleriske Kamo River, et yndet sted for lokalbefolkningen at slappe af, jogge og nyde naturen. Det er den perfekte måde at opleve harmonien mellem Kyotos byliv og naturlige omgivelser.
En mindre kendt, men lige så fortryllende geisha distrikt beliggende nær Gion. Vi går her med en rolig køretur gennem sine smukke smug, hvor traditionerne i gamle Kyoto er stadig meget levende.
Heian Shrine blev bygget i 1895 for at markere Kyotos 1.100 års jubilæum. Dens lyse vermilion port og bygninger er modelleret efter det gamle kejserlige palads. Lige undervejs vil du se en af Japans største torii porte - svært at gå glip af!
Velkommen til Biwa Aqueduct Museum. Dette lille museum fortæller historien om Biwa-søen, et ingeniørprojekt fra 1890'erne, der bragte vand, elektricitet og nyt liv til Kyoto efter hovedstaden flyttede til Tokyo.
Nanzenji er et af de vigtigste zen-templer, der blev grundlagt i det 13. århundrede. Det er berømt for sin massive træ Sanmon port, fredfyldte Zen Gardens og den røde mursten akvedukt, der løber lige gennem marken. Nanzenji har været et symbol på Zen kultur i Kyoto i århundreder.
Filosoferens sti er en sten gågade, der følger en kanal foldet med kirsebærtræer. Det er opkaldt efter Kyoto Universitetets professor, Nishida Kitaro, der plejede at gå her mens meditere på sine ideer. I foråret gør kirsebærblomsterne det til en af Kyotos smukkeste steder, men det er fredeligt året rundt. Vi vil ride langs en del af det, som vi leder mod vores næste stop.
Op foran er Honen-in, et roligt tempel indhyllet i bakkerne. Det blev grundlagt i 1600-tallet for at ære den buddhistiske præst Honen, der spredte læren fra ren jord sekten. Den mosede port og hvide sand mønstre her giver det en skjult, fredelig atmosfære - meget anderledes end Kyotos travlere templer.
Vi er ankommet til Ginkaku-ji, Silver Pavilion, bygget i slutningen af 1400-tallet af shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa. Selvom pavillonen hedder Silver Pavilion, var den aldrig faktisk dækket af sølv. Vi vil tage et par minutter til at gå rundt, nyde haver og revet sand, og suge ind i den historiske arkitektur.
Udforsk Kyotos mest berømte geisha-kvarter, med sine traditionelle træmachiya-huse og historisk charme. Lær om geiko og maiko kultur, mens vi ride gennem lantern-lyset stier.

The tour was amazing! We went to so many places and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and also funny! It was not too hard to bike because every bike trip was pretty short and the electric bikes do all the uphill work for you. I have recommended this trip to all of my friends.
SUGOI! This was one of the best days of our entire Japan adventure. I was a little nervous about booking a 7-hour tour, as it seemed a bit long, but the day flew by. The e-bikes were cruiser-style, worked well, and were comfortable with baskets (no helmets). Jamie was the best host! He was like touring Kyoto with a fun friend. Thanks to him, we got the perfect combination of Kyoto's history, culture, religion, and beauty. Along the way, Jamie says hello to everyone he sees, giving us a unique opportunity to engage with the kind people of Kyoto that we wouldn't have otherwise. I would recommend that you be fairly comfortable on a bike, as we sometimes had to maneuver through busy streets, though he did his best to avoid them. We went in early March, and it was a bit chilly in the morning and early afternoon, so bring a hat, gloves, layers, and sunscreen. I would also recommend bringing a snack if you didn't have a big breakfast; lunch is a bit later in the tour. If you don't have time for a 7-hour tour, he does offer shorter tours. Jamie also takes a ton of pictures on his phone and shares them with you at the end :). Arigato gozaimasu, Jamie, for a day full of majestic memories!!
Sugoi!! Saikou!! Okini!! We appreciate so much your words and we’ll keep paying attention to every aspect of our tours to make them every time more enjoyable and memorable!! Meccha Arigatou 🙏
The Discover Kyoto Full Day Tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. We visited beautiful temples, historic streets, and famous landmarks while learning so much about Kyoto’s culture and history. The guide was friendly, organized, and explained everything clearly. The schedule was well planned, and we had enough time at each stop to enjoy and take photos. It was a great way to see many highlights of Kyoto in one day without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for first-time visitors! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This trip is a must do during your stay in Kyoto. Jaime was an excellent guide and came equipped with lively energy and extensive knowledge on the rich culture that rests here in Japan. We visited temples, a beautiful zen garden, rode through exclusive parts of the city that buses and taxis could never reach, ate authentic Japanese lunch/snacks, and were introduced to and tested on the Japanese language/vocabulary. This was an unmatched experience that one could not get if they merely walked around for a few days. The pace of our travels were perfect for beginner and novice riders with plenty of breaks. Let Jaime take you on a truly amazing adventure and you will not be disappointed. 🚲
We had a super fun, interesting and informative day with Jaime discovering beautiful kyoto and the japanese language and culture. Covered so much ground yet it felt relaxed and comfortable, and always engaging. This is really the best way to see and experience this fantastic city! Jamie is extremely knowledgable, entertaining and has a passion for his chosen home of Kyoto. We learnt a number of useful japanese words and phrases. Thanks Jaime, and best wishes to you. Jaime has good english, bikes easy to ride, good lunch, well paced tour with lots of stops. We couldnt believe how fast the day went. Totally recommend this tour.
We toured Kyoto with Jaime and the experience was excellent. Jaime is very friendly, professional and has a way of explaining Japanese culture that really hooks. You can see that he knows deeply the history and traditions of the place. In addition, he speaks several languages, which made the tour very clear and comfortable for everyone. We are very happy with the tour and fully recommend it for those who want to know Kyoto completely and with a first-rate guide.
Delightful and informative tour. It was a wonderful overview of Kyoto and John was very entertaining. The tour was jam packed with the sights and sounds of the city. As a bonus, the included lunch was excellent.
Jamie is a great guide, very friendly and knows a huge amount about Kyoto and Japan. He showed us lots of different areas and we got to see things we would never have done on our own. He also taught us to count in Japanese. I am so glad we did this tour on our first day, it really helped us know what else we wanted to do. I would highly recommend this as an activity plus the e bikes made it super easy
Jaime was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and his quirky sense of humour made the trip fun. Great to ride around the back streets and see the real Japan as well as the sights you tick off as a tourist. The lunch spot and the lunch were a highlight. He can teach you how to count to ten in Japanese in 2 minutes in a way you will never forget! Bikes were in excellent condition. A fun day out with a great local who speaks English well.
This was so much fun! Riding an e-bike all day through beautiful Kyoto, seeing hidden gems off the beaten path, eating a yummy lunch, and learning Kyoto history was all amazing! Oh and laughing a lot because Jaime the guide is very funny, plus very knowledgable, and he taught us Japanese! If you have a day, definitely recommend this tour! Thanks for the memories Jaime!
