Summary

I took about 5 hours from No.1 to No.7 on the map with my bicycle.

There are not so many train stations in the area, so it’s better to take the bicycle to see viewing spots more efficiently.

There are many rental bicycle shops in Kyoto.

This is a map marked with my recommendation spots in Kyoto.
