Escorted Cycling Tour Kyoto to the Sea

The city of Kyoto has inherited its elegant and ancient traditions. After tasting the land that every traveler in Japan yearns for, the next thing to look at is the beautiful life that remains in Japan, especially in the countryside of Kyoto. As you leave the bustle of Kyoto and travel up valleys, over mountain passes, and down mountain streams, you will see scenery that reflects the lives of people who have lived in nature and with nature. The harmony of the houses, fields, and satoyama will give you a sense of the love and pride that people have nurtured for the region. The Sea of Japan is the goal. From the mountains to the sea, the road to the sea leads you to think about how people have made the most of the environment in their respective places.

Kumano Shrine (Ayabe)

Kumano shrine near Ayabe in Kyoto prefecture has an air of mystery about it. The grounds includes a large shrine and garden as well as several smaller shrines and is tucked away deep in the mountains. The founding date of the shrine is unknown and its remote location gives it the feeling of being a hidden shrine; especially in winter when it is covered with snow or shrouded in fog. Yet, all this means that the shrine sits among unspoiled natural beauty. While the shrine is not well known, it is revered by those who do know about it.
The nearby town is famous for being home to the Heike clan who lost a war over 800 years ago and moved to the gorge in exile and are immortalized in the tale "Heike no Ochiudo Densetsu." The clan built the shrine to the diety Kumano and is where it gets its name from. The town is also well known for being an excellent source of Japanese “washi” paper due to the abundance of mulberry trees and the clear water of the gorge river.
