The early-bird e-bike tour leaves at 8:00 and reaches Fushimi Inari before the crowds, then rides north to the Path of Philosophy and Ginkaku-ji, about 25 km in six to seven hours. It costs ¥21,000 with lunch and runs every month but January and February. For countryside, the sister company Cycle Kasagi takes e-bikes through the tea villages of Wazuka and Yagyu.
