This scenic riverside ride will take you on a wonderful cycling route along the quiet Uji and Yamashina Rivers before looping back into the historic and temple-filled Higashiyama district of Kyoto. The route deliberately avoids the crowded areas of Kyoto so the wheels can keep turning and you enjoy a nice 30km leisurely cycle ride. We explore beautiful Kyoto neighborhoods and vistas, as we ride up to the peaceful and secluded Sennyuji Shrine. A great ride for cyclists with a small window of opportunity for cycling while in Japan. 

Head to Takeda Station on the Kintestu Kyoto line. Exit from the south ticket gate and take the west exit (Exit 6). Turn left and follow the road straight. Road Bike Rental Japan (Kyoto) is 450 metres on the left.
