VIGORE KyotoKyoto's only bespoke bikemaker is Masato Kataoka, owner of Vigore Kyoto.
He is a third generation craftsman, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and father.
The forerunner of Vigore was established in 1930 by Kataoka's grandfather.
The current bicycles are order made, and start from 128,000 yen.
Kataoka's bikes are beautifully crafted, a delight to the eye. His shop is located north of Kyoto's International Conference center, not far from Kitayama.
