This leisurely and refreshing ride offers a welcome change of pace and scenery, just 20 minutes from Kyoto by bullet train! Experience small-town life in Maibara, follow historic trade routes, get a first-hand look at rice fields, ride along the Lake Biwa shoreline, and visit a number of artisans who make home Buddhist altars known as Butsudan. You will then head to a local restaurant for a traditional lunch with your small tour group before heading back to the starting point of your adventure.
