Hi, it's Yuki the tour guide or a capoeira beginner inspired by Eddy Gordo from Tekken 3. We have been talking a lot about Arashiyama so far. But don't forget that Discovery Bicycle Tours Kyoto also has a tour in central Kyoto. Therefore, I also would like to talk about what you will see in the tour, starting with Kamo River. This iconic waterway runs through the heart of Kyoto, offering a peaceful escape for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer, cycling along the Kamo River is a must-try experience that captures the essence of this historic city.
What is the Kamo River?
Historically, the Kamo River was essential for transportation and agriculture. Today, it's a popular recreational area where locals gather to relax, exercise, and enjoy its serene ambiance. You will encounter the locals jogging, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. The gentle sound of flowing water and the sight of birds like herons and ducks make it a soothing retreat from the bustling city. I even had a chance to take a nice picture of a bird casually walking along the river.
What to Do Along the Kamo River
Cycling along the Kamo River opens up a world of possibilities. For example, you can picnic on the Riverside with bento box and enjoy a peaceful picnic by the river. Or enjoy Seasonal Scenery: The Kamo River is stunning year-round. Like the first picture, cherry blossoms create a pink canopy in spring, and even winter has its charm with a quiet, crisp atmosphere.
