Before we move on, let me give you one more useful tip

A group of four cyclists, two Japanese and two non-Japanese, wearing helmets stand with their bikes on a road. They are smiling for the camera with traditional thatched-roof houses (Kayabuki) and a dense, green mountain background in Miyama.

Before we move on, let me give you one more useful tip… especially if you meet a Japanese woman someday!”(laugh)… this might help you make Japanese friends!”

If you meet a Japanese woman and her name includes the character
 “ (mi),” she may be happy if you talk about its meaning.
means “beauty” in Japanese, and many parents use this character in their daughters’ names with the hope that they will grow up beautiful both inside and outside.

About the Author

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.
