Introduction of the destination

【Hiyoshi/Woodland Kyoto】

About one hour from Kyoto City, you’ll find the town of Hiyoshi in Nantan, known for its waterside areas and forests. Hop on a folding bicycle and take in the changing seasonal scenery of idyllic villages while riding alongside Hiyoshi Dam and Katsura River. Stop at a cafe and enjoy a meal made with local vegetables, see traditional thatched-roof homes, and visit small shrines surrounded by mountains. One of the best parts of this tour is experiencing authentic country living in areas that retain their rustic charm rather than feeling like sightseeing destinations.

【Maizuru/Kyoto by the Sea】

Maizuru has two distinct sections, West Maizuru, where you can see the vestiges of the castle town of long ago, and East Maizuru, which prospered as a naval port during the Meiji period. Coast through the old town of West Maizuru on your folding bike and then head to the red brick warehouses and port area of East Maizuru. This is the perfect place to experience the march of history while enjoying the breeze. Make sure to take a break at a local cafe and snap some photos at the beautiful scenic spots overlooking the Sea of Japan. This cycling tour offers the chance to experience the charming fusion of Maizuru’s culture, history, and nature with all five senses.
