Always start at Sakura deai-kan

We live in Yawata City and often go cycling starting from "Sakura deai-kan" in Miyuki-bashi Bridge, known as a Mecca for cyclists. We live in Yawata City and often go cycling, starting at Sakura deai-kan, located on Goko-bashi Bridge, which is known as a mecca for cyclists. From here, we can go to Kyoto City, Osaka, and Nara in three prefectures, and we discuss where to go today before setting out. Hearing-impaired cyclists from around the world sometimes come to Kyoto to ride their bicycles, and we guide them as a couple.

I love how the weather changes when I look out over the vast landscape.
It was a beautiful evening with a curtain of light through the clouds.

Cycling to Wazuka Town

Kyoto seems to be associated with "tea," so I guided them to Wazuka. They were impressed by the splendor of the tea fields in Wazuka, which was chosen as the most beautiful village in Japan. The natural mountains south of Kyoto, with their ups and downs, are different from those in other countries, and they are very pleased with the scenery. A short ride will take you to the World Heritage site of Kyoto City, so I think the appeal of cycling in Kyoto is that there are many courses where you can enjoy nature and culture.
