Overview

This four-hour e-bike tour covers about 25 kilometers through Kyoto's Arashiyama district, focusing on the Bamboo Grove and nearby temples. Guests ride Panasonic e-bikes, which assist pedaling to help cover ground easily across both urban and rural areas. The tour includes stops at Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple, where riders spend 45 minutes viewing numerous small Buddhist statues and some unusual features away from crowds. There is also a visit to a moss temple for 30 minutes, where the group walks through quiet, contemplative gardens. Finally, participants park their bikes for a half-hour walk along the Bamboo Forest Trail, one of Kyoto's well-known attractions. Helmets, bottled water, snacks, bicycle use, and temple entrance fees are included. The group size is limited to eight riders to maintain safety and manageability. Riders should be comfortable cycling 25 kilometers or about four hours and must be at least 15 years old. Guests meet 20 minutes before departure to get familiar with the e-bikes.
