大阪城から淀川の自転車道It is possible to ride from Arashiyama, in far west Kyoto, all the way to Osaka Castle, smack in the heart of Japan's second city, without ever meeting or dealing with a car, truck, or taxi.
The 42 km bike lane that starts in Arashiyama and ends in Kizu, which is ideal for those heading to Nara, takes you to Yawata.
At that point, those heading to Nara need to continue on the Kizu route and head inland.
For those heading to Osaka, cross the bridge at the confluence of several rivers at Yawata and turn right.
At that point, a mostly unmarked but paved route follows the Yodogawa River all the way into Umeda. As long as the river is on your right, you are heading the right way.
At the Okawa River, which is close to downtown - the skyscrapers loom in front of you, turn left and follow the bike path south (pictured above right). This will take you straight to Osaka Castle.
Riding time is 4-5 hours.
