Overview

Experience the Grand Loop. See more of Kyoto.

The Kyoto Grand Loop is a 44 km cycling adventure linking five iconic sights: Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Gion, Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion). Between them, ride riverside paths and backstreets through traditional neighborhoods and quieter corners of Kyoto.

This is a substantial ride with hills and varied terrain. Guests should be comfortable cycling for several hours. Minimum age: 16.
