Kyoto Prefecture: Cyclist-Friendly Accommodations
A Comfortable Place to Stay with Your Bicycle

Discover Kyoto Tamba by Bicycle
Kyoto Tamba has a character all its own, quite different from the urban streets of Kyoto City.
Surrounded by mountains, the area is filled with peaceful satoyama landscapes, rural fields that change with the seasons, clear rivers, and traditional townscapes.
Some of these views are easy to miss when traveling by car. By bicycle, you can slow down, stop whenever something catches your eye, and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.
Fresh green leaves in spring, lush rice fields in summer, autumn harvests, and crisp winter air—the scenery of Kyoto Tamba changes throughout the year.
Take your time and experience the changing seasons of Kyoto Tamba by bicycle.
