Bike Lane Kujo Dori Kyoto

Bike Lane Kyoto自転車専用レーン九条通り京都

This is the holy grail of bike lanes in Kyoto.

The city has "bike lanes" on Gojo, Nishi Oji, Horikawa, and other large boulevards with wide sidewalks.

However, those lanes are not separate from pedestrian traffic, and often run through bus stops where crowds of people wait.

Near Toji Temple, though, in south Kyoto, there are stretches along Kujo Dori (9th Street) where bikes are separated from pedestrians and both have their respective lanes to ride or walk in.
