This is our Kyoto base, which just opened in August 2024.
It is a little hard to find as it is renovated from a house that was originally an acupuncture clinic.
Although it is not in a tourist area, it is right in the middle of Kyoto’s most popular tourist sites, such as Arashiyama, Higashiyama, Kinkakuji Temple, and Fushimi Inari, and you can get to any of them in 30 minutes by E-Bike. It is the perfect place to rent an E-Bike and explore.
All Kyoto city attractions are within 30 minutes from here.
Tern Vektron ( (Range: 60km~)
From here you can travel round trip to Osaka, Nara, Lake Biwa, and Wazuka in one day.
We have been renting and touring full-scale E-Bikes on the Sea of Japan side of northern Kyoto for over 6 years, and we are fully aware of their performance and how to use them.
Kyoto is not just a city, but has historical roads stretching from north to south, east to west, and beyond the mountains is another world. Japan’s largest lake, thatched roof villages, tea fields as far as the eye can see, pure waterfalls and rivers, all of which are perfect for an E-Bike trip.
You can go long distances on a drop-handle E-Bike, or explore the mountains and narrow paths on a mountain bike. You can experience cycling that you can never experience outside of Japan, outside of Kyoto.
Giant Escape E+ (Range: 100km~)
If you hate traffic jams, bus queues and crowded subways,
Then enjoy an exhilarating ride through Kyoto on a modern horse!
Kyoto City is a very crowded city. It’s only natural if you’re trying to get to well-known spots using well-known means of transportation.
If that happens, most of your time in Kyoto will be spent in unpleasant traffic jams and waiting, and the sights you see will be crowded.
Moreover, many of these famous tourist spots are recently built, and in fact have little historical depth.
However, if you walk up the hill about 500m from the famous spots, you’ll find truly historic temples, roads, forests, and houses where no one is around.
E-bike Rent Reservation
In principle, E-Bike rental requires a reservation. In some cases, you may be able to rent an E-Bike without a reservation, but the staff may not be at the store at the time, so you may have to wait a little.
Guided tour & Car transport service
The plan is to transport people and bicycles in a support vehicle and cycle from best location to best location, avoiding congested city streets and difficult roads.
There are five-seater (four passengers) and eight-seater (seven passengers) vehicles available.
We offer a simple plan where we unload your bike, give you a 10-minute guided tour, and then cycle to the hotel on your own, and a full plan where a car accompanies you throughout the tour.
*These tours include pick-up and drop-off from hotels and stations in Kyoto city.
Access
10 minutes walk from Saiin Station or Tambaguchi Station
*It’s one block behind the main street. It’s behind a motorcycle shop “Pulse Nishi-oji Gojo Store.”

while the main streets that are easy for foreigners to understand are jammed with hellish traffic, 100 meters further in you’ll find beautiful alleys where locals can coolly get around on their bicycles.
Furthermore, the roads up the hills, where you would hesitate to ride an E-Bike, are surprisingly deserted, with only local residents occasionally strolling around.
