Wild Kyoto: An Afternoon of Bikes, Bamboo & Monkeys

See a wilder side of Kyoto on an adventurous afternoon bike tour through scenic Arashiyama.

Ideal for families with teens, couples and travelers ready for a change from temple sightseeing. Our 1 p.m. start leaves your morning free.

At Iwatayama Monkey Park, take an approximately 20-minute uphill walk to see Japanese macaques and panoramic city views. Visit the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Tenryuji’s World Heritage Zen garden and Togetsukyo Bridge, with quieter backstreets and local discoveries between stops.

Based right here in Arashiyama, Kyoto Bike Tour brings local knowledge and stories to your ride. Bicycle, helmet, bottled water and admission fees are included.
