Overview

Kyoto’s bamboo forests stretch for miles, so trying to cover all of their area on foot can take hours. This family-focused bike tour lets you explore the natural expanse at a relaxed pace and cover much more than you could on foot. Your guide takes you through scenic backstreets rather than busy thoroughfares in the center.

This bike tour is tailored for toddlers and young kids
See a side of Kyoto's backstreets usually reserved for locals
Don’t worry about packing kit, everything you need is provided for ease
Explore more of the forests than you would if walking

If you are looking for a safe, super fun and beautiful bike tour of Kyoto with your kids, search no more ! Peter was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about Japanese culture and traditions, we learned so much! The kids ( 8 and 11yo) had a blast wandering around the bamboo forest and the monkey park! We recommend this tour to all families looking for a different way of discovering this stunning part of Kyoto!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for joining our Kyoto Family Bike Tour and for sharing such kind feedback. I’m delighted that your whole family, especially your 8- and 11-year-olds, enjoyed discovering the Arashiyama bamboo forest and the Monkey Park. Creating a safe, engaging, and fun experience for families is very important to us, so I’m glad the tour allowed you to explore this beautiful part of Kyoto in a relaxed way. I’m also happy that learning about Japanese culture and traditions added depth to the experience while still keeping the kids fully engaged. Thank you again for the wonderful recommendation. It was a pleasure guiding your family, and I hope we can ride together again on your next visit to Kyoto! Kind regards, Peter
