Kitayama Loop over Moshikosh and Kyomi passes
A cycling route starting in Kamigyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
Overview
About this route
A fantastic loop that you would never tire of. Very little traffic despite being so close to the city. The climbs are short but challenging. Either direction works well. Good for all year. Takes me about 75 minutes without stopping. A good touring course. Superb forest scenery and chirping birdsong. Remember to take the left over the bridge about 500m's past the elementary school.
Enjoy.
