Description complète

Le bord oriental de Kyoto est l'endroit ou la ville est a son meilleur et la plus etalee. Ginkaku-ji se trouve a l'extremite nord, le chemin du philosophe s'etend sur deux kilometres vers le sud le long d'un canal sous des cerisiers, et les temples et jardins sont alignes a des distances qui rendent la marche de l'ensemble un travail d'une journee et un circuit en bus une serie de visites de parkings.

Un velo electrique resout la geometrie. L'assistance aplatit les collines au pied de la chaine d'Higashiyama, les velos conviennent aux cyclistes jusqu'a deux metres, et vous couvrez tout le cote oriental confortablement en quatre heures avec du temps pour vous arreter correctement.

Ce dernier point est le veritable argument du circuit. Les frais d'entree aux jardins sont inclus et le guide vous emmene a l'interieur, de nombreux circuits a velo a Kyoto passent devant les murs celebres et photographient la porte. Ginkaku-ji, le pavillon d'argent, n'a jamais ete argente ; le shogun qui l'a construit comme villa de retraite est mort avant l'execution du plan, et la retenue qui en resulte est precisement pourquoi le jardin et son cone de sable ratisse sont consideres comme la plus belle realisation.

Le chemin du philosophe est nomme d'apres Nishida Kitaro, qui le parcourait quotidiennement en se rendant a l'universite de Kyoto, et il fonctionne exactement comme ce circuit l'utilise, comme un fil conducteur entre les temples plutot qu'une destination.

Les groupes sont limites a huit personnes. Les casques et le velo electrique sont inclus ; le dejeuner et les transferts a l'hotel ne le sont pas. Le point de rendez-vous est la base de location propre de l'operateur a Koyamacho, Kita-ku, trouvable sur les cartes par son nom.

Tour gives a fantastic geographical and historical perspective to your Kyoto visit .. while still allowing you to visit a number of must see shrines/temples. Surprisingly beautiful/peaceful streets and river cycleways to travel along (as well as some smaller urban roads/footpaths and pedestrian crossings to pick your way respectfully through whilst sharing the morning with Kyotos local residents). Ben was a highly knowledgeable and interesting guide… perhaps content was most appropriate for adults or a keen history teen! For me though it was excellent and still provided great historical and cultural content for us even after a couple of weeks touring in Japan.

Ben was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable, patient and fun to guide us around. We are a family of 4 with 12 and 14yo. They loved seeing the sights on an e-bike it made sightseeing more enjoyable for them.

This was a fabulous experience that brought our entire family joy. My 15 year old son spoke of how beautiful the journey was, my 13 year old son proclaimed the speedy bikes were very fun, my husband spoke about how knowledgeable our guide was and I appreciated the simple route and pace having rather rusty biking skills. It was a great experience for all.

The price does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch and additional temple admissions off the route. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
You can usually ride as a passenger behind a local driver, which is what most guests do and needs no licence. Driving yourself needs a licence valid in that country, and your travel insurance will normally only cover you if you hold one.
Kyoto Fun. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
