Discover a quieter side of Kyoto on this guided e-bike tour through the city's western countryside. Visit the Mozume Kurumazuka Ancient Tomb, a 6th-century keyhole-shaped burial mound, before exploring the peaceful Rakusai Bamboo Park and Rakusai Bamboo Museum, home to over 110 bamboo species and exhibits about bamboo's role in Japanese culture.
The 7-hour tour also includes a scenic climb to Yoshiminedera Temple, a mountainside temple offering panoramic views over Kyoto and beautiful seasonal gardens.
Enjoy a traditional lunch prepared by a local father-and-son team of sushi chefs before continuing to Mukō Shrine, one of the area's oldest Shinto shrines, and the Muko City Cultural Museum, where you'll learn about the ancient capital of Nagaokakyō through archaeological exhibits.
Designed to avoid tourist crowds, this tour offers a unique combination of history, nature, local culture, and countryside cycling.
