Recorrido en bicicleta por Kioto - Descubra las impresionantes colinas del norte
The backdrop to the ancient capital, pure and simple just makes for great cycling. The North Hills of Kyoto provides some of our favorite cycling around.
Tour Description
From RBRJ Kyoto, we make our way over the Katsura River and head north along the smooth cycle path towards the popular district of Arashiyama. Crossing the Toketsukyo Bridge, we have to navigate our way carefully through the crowds before reaching the impressive Seiryōji Temple Niomon Gate.
From here we run along the foothills of Ukyo, passing the peaceful Hirosawa Pond before a left turn onto Yamagoe-dori. A quick ascent and descent over the hill gets the heart rate up nicely and mentally ready for the real climbing to begin. With a left turn onto Route 162, we start a progressive climb (4-6%) upto Takao where a fun descent through the village awaits. Eventually, we reach the serene village of Nakagawa.
Beyond Nakagawa, we ride through the tranquil forest of Kumogahatanakahatacho before another fun descent along the Kamo River as we make our way over the charming rural town of Ohara.
From Ohara, we drop back into Kyoto on route 367 and back onto the Kamo River as we make our back to RBRJ Kyoto.
