Kyoto – Nara, Wazuka and Uji Tea fields E-Bike Private Tour (Hidden gem)

Wazuka, located in the center of Uji and Nara

Tea fields are often grown on mountain slopes, and the course around Wazuka is somewhat steep. All bicycles used on the tour are electric, so you can ride comfortably. If the climb becomes too difficult, you can ride in a support car and climb the hill together.
As this is an intermediate point, lunch is often taken here on this cycling tour.

Two ancient capitals

The capital was moved to Nara in 710 AD (Fujiwara-kyo from 694 AD), and then to Kyoto in 794 AD. Counting from Kyoto to Nara, Nara has a history of about 1,300 years. The ancient roads connecting Nara and Kyoto still remain. You will cycle along the same roads that samurai, merchants, and commoners traveled on horseback and on foot.

Deer in Nara Park

There are many deer in Nara Park. You can feed them sweet treats called deer crackers.

Generally, the main guide will make a decision based on the crowd situation of the season.

sake
Japanese sake began in this place, Tango.
It is said that Japanese sake, commonly known as “seishu,” originated in Nara City or Itami City, but there are records that show that before seishu was born, sake, the origin of Japanese sake, began in Tango, the Kyoto of the Sea.The Tango region is blessed with pure water and a natural environment perfect for growing rice, the main ingredient in sake.

zen
The origin of “wa” (harmony), which represents Japanese culture and spirituality.
Tango is the hidden setting of Japan’s myth of the creation of the nation, a sacred land that appears in numerous myths and legends, where the connection between the gods and the local people is very strong.
Although Tango was a powerful nation with advanced culture and sophisticated technology introduced from the continent, it did not fight with the Yamato government, but instead contributed to the founding of Japan by remaining in harmony with it.

silk
A major producer of silk fabrics in Japan.
This region has a history spanning over 300 years, originating during the Edo period and becoming a major production center for the majority of kimono fabrics in Japan at its peak.
“Tango Chirimen” is a general term for silk fabrics woven using a piece-dyeing technique that creates an uneven surface. Characterized by its wrinkle-resistant properties, suppleness, and deep, beautiful colors, it has supported Japan’s traditional clothing culture as a kimono fabric.

1 Day (50km) / Kyoto to Miyama
I will pick you up at your hotel and then help you choose the right size electric bike for your height at my store.
The first day will cover the highest elevation and most challenging route of the entire five-day journey. It’s a mountainous forest route with steep ascents and descents well-known to local cyclists. We’ll cross the mountains surrounding Kyoto City and head towards Miyama Town, a quiet and scenic rural area that once prospered from forestry.

Isobe

2 Day (60km) / Miyama to Ayabe
Ayabe is a town that has long prospered through sericulture, the source of silk thread. The finest kimono fabrics are made from the highest quality silk thread produced in Ayabe. The area is now known as a place that promotes farm-inn accommodation.

Imaya

3 Day (45km) / Ayabe to Miyazu
From the mountain villages to the seaside town, Miyazu City is home to the famous Amanohashidate, a popular tourist spot in Japan, and is also home to the mythical legend of the birth of Japan.This is an area where you can feel the presence of gods and Buddhas close at hand.

Amanohashidate

4 Day (42km) / Miyazu to Kyotango
Known as a fishing town and an agricultural town, this is the area where you can feel the most close to the lives of the local people. The area of Taiza in particular has a strong contrast and is one of my favorite places.

Kyotango Taiza

5 Day (40km) / Kyotango to Ine → Nearest station or Kyoto city (Car transfers)
On the final day of the cycling tour, you will travel along a varied coastline where you can experience the overwhelming beauty of nature. One of the highlights of the tour is the natural hot springs you can soak in along the way.

Tango One

Scenes from the good old days of Japan

Legend has it that about 2,200 years ago, the First Emperor of China wanted an elixir of immortality, so he sent a man named Jofuku to sail to the Tango Peninsula to search for the elixir.
From the 4th to 5th centuries, rice cultivation, farming, iron processing, weaving, and sake brewing developed, and a large city known as the Tango Kingdom was born.
With such a historical background, the Tango Peninsula still retains its good old industry, agriculture, culture, and customs.

Dynamic coastline cycling

Cycling from Kyoto City to the Tango Peninsula is truly dynamic. The scenery changes rapidly, from mountains, clear streams, lakes, dams, rural villages, and fishing villages, leaving cyclists amazed. The terrain is also rugged, with many courses offering constant excitement, making this a cycling tour.
Once you enter the Tango Peninsula, a magnificent view of the coastline spreads out before your eyes. There are beautiful, quiet beaches and cliff-like coastlines, making for a very varied terrain. The water quality is excellent and highly transparent, and on sunny days you can see the deep blue sea, known as “Tango Blue,” that is unique to the Tango Peninsula.

Interacting with locals

Experience local life

While cycling through this town, where rice farms, pesticide-free vegetable farms, and fishing industries thrive, you can see the locals at work and living their lives. You can experience the hidden countryside of Kyoto that you can’t see in Kyoto city.

Super fresh seafood

While you might imagine Kyoto city as the birthplace of washoku, a cuisine recognized as a World Heritage Site, its origins lie in Kyoto by the sea. Rice, condiments such as sake, soy sauce, and vinegar, as well as vegetables and fish, were all brought from Kyoto by the sea through trade, making it the true origin of washoku.

Amanohashidate

Where is the most beautiful place in Japan? Well, Japan has narrowed it down to three. Japan’s “Three Scenic Views” are comprised of Matsushima in Miyagi, Miyajima in Hiroshima, and Amanohashidate (here in Miyazu,Northern Kyoto).Amanohashidate is an iconic land bridge that straddles the Aso inland sea and Miyazu Bay which connects to the Sea of Japan. The land bridge itself has thousands of pine trees of all different varieties with beaches on both sides spanning 3.6K. From one of the scenic overlooks, you can get a unique perspective of the scene by looking upside-down between your legs. The sea and bay reflect the sky and the pine forest turns into a winding green dragon crossing the heavens.

Funaya（boat houses）

Japan’s Most Beautiful Village built right on the water
The village of Ine is like nowhere else in the world, and that’s not hyperbole. It has been recognized to be among Japan’s Most Beautiful Villages. Without much room to build between the mountains and sea, the villagers created this village right along the waters of Ine Bay (Northern Kyoto), one of UNESCO’s World’s Most Beautiful Bays, and the 230 “funaya” (boat houses) that line the bay trace their origins back to the Edo period. ”

fishing
The Tango Peninsula is a mecca for fishing
The Tango Peninsula has a varied topography and is home to a wide variety of fish throughout the seasons. There are many local fishing enthusiasts, and you can see anglers there early in the morning and in the evenings and at night. Fishing equipment and cooler box rentals are also available. Japan is home to some of the world’s most famous fishing tackle companies, such as Daiwa and Shimano, and we can provide information to fishing enthusiasts about local fishing tackle shops. You can also cook and eat the fish you catch.

Cycling through Amanohashidate

In fact, you can cycle through Amanohashidate. The trail runs through a sandbar with a width of about 20 to 170 meters and a total length of about 3.6 km, along a road lined with about 6,700 pine trees.

Cycling through Ine’s funaya boat houses

Ine Funaya is an area of 230 unique houses lined up along Ine Bay for 5km. This lifestyle that is coexistent with the sea is rare even in Japan.

Cycling through the sea and rice terraces

Kyoto by the Sea has representative rice terraces such as Sodeshi Rice Terraces and Ni Rice Terraces.
In April, you can see rice fields being filled with water before planting, and in September, when harvest time begins, you can see the golden rice fields.

Cycling through the Kamaya coast

Kamaya Coast, with its pleasant ups and downs, is a cycling spot that represents the Tango Peninsula. It is also popular with Japanese cyclists because of its scenic views of sheer cliffs.
