Kyoto Cycling Tour Project has rented bikes in Kyoto since 2001, and its main terminal sits about three minutes' walk from the north side of Kyoto Station. It runs terminals at the station, Fushimi, Nijo, Shijo Horikawa, Gojo Horikawa and Karasuma Gojo, several of them inside Urban Hotel branches. Pedal bikes can go back to any of them.

The best bike in the fleet is the Ginrin, the company's own design with an internal 8-speed hub and mountain-bike tyres, at ¥1,700 a day. E-bikes cost ¥2,700 and carry riders about 40 km on a charge. Helmets come free with every rental. The company also runs guided cycling and walking tours.

Worth knowing

Book the Fushimi terminal if you want to start at Fushimi Inari; it sits about 15 minutes by bike from Kyoto Station.
