Kyoto Eco Trip Kyoto Tower

What travelers say:

Cycling is a great option for slow exploration of Kyoto, apart from public transport or walking. Kyoto is mostly flat and bike culture is already common on bike-only roads, so it is convenient even for beginners. If you want to rent a bike, use J-Cycle is recommended. All J-Cycle staff are friendly and speak English. Maintenance technicians are on site so no pre-rent inspection is required and various information related to bicycle operations, as well as the main courses, location of bicycle parking, maps, etc. The cost is three to four or more using public transport, but the biggest benefit is that you can relax and view Kyoto from different angles. Most of the land is flat, but attractions outside the city center, such as Geumgaksa and Eungaksa, are located relatively high, so single gear (active bike) can be a bit difficult for those who don’t cycle regularly. In this case, the 21-speed MTB would be better.
