Giro veloce in bici da Kyoto a Mukō

This relaxed ride starts in the heart of ancient Kyoto, a city renowned for its stunning temples, quiet gardens, and classic wooden houses. From the city’s timeless charm, you’ll pedal southwest towards Mukō, a smaller city with a laid-back vibe, once serving as an imperial outpost.

The route is easygoing, with minimal climbs—just under 11 meters of ascent—so it’s perfect for cruising at your own pace. You’ll mostly roll along quiet roads, with over 70% of the journey away from traffic for a peaceful experience. About a quarter of the ride takes you onto cycleways for added comfort, and the mostly paved surfaces keep things smooth.

Make sure to enjoy the change of scenery as you leave Kyoto’s historic quarters, passing through local neighborhoods and green spaces, before arriving in Mukō. It’s a great route for taking it easy while soaking up a bit of everyday life between these two Kansai gems!
