Hello, I’m your local cycling guide in Miyama, Kyoto.
I run Peaceful Cycling Tour to share the quiet beauty of Miyama with visitors from around the world. This area is known for its thatched-roof houses, clear rivers, green mountains, and peaceful satoyama landscapes.
My tour is not about speed or distance. It is about enjoying the countryside slowly, meeting local scenery, and feeling the calm rhythm of rural Japan.
I look forward to cycling with you in Miyama.
