Bike Arishiyama peacefully - A quiet morning spent viewing key spots around Arishiyama. Best way to sight see before the big crowds hit the town. Please be sure to have Yuki as your guide, he will show you everything you need to see and more.

Highly Recommend -A Great Way to Explore Kyoto - I highly recommended for visitors who want to experience Arashiyama in a more personal and relaxed way (and who doesn't mind getting up early)! The tour started at 6AM from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station and lasted about 3 hours, covering the bamboo forest, some quiet neighborhoods, rice fields, a lake, Tenryu-ji Temple, togetsukyo bridge, and back to the station. I rode an electric-assist bike with helmets and intercoms provided and installed within the helmet, making it super safe to communicate with the guide. My guide Yuki was super friendly, spoke great English, and clearly loves what he does. The early start avoids the worst of the heat + crowd and leaves the rest of the day free to explore Kyoto. I had such a great time, the rice field part was really the highlight for me. As visitors to Kyoto, we don’t often get to see this side of the city, so it felt really special and memorable. I felt very safe throughout the entire tour!
