Gion is the best known part of Kyoto. It is not ideal for cycling - narrow street filled with tourists - but can be done on two wheels.
Planning is key.
Cyclists should get there early. Think before 8 am or even 7 am, which is before the shops open. Once the shops open and the tour buses arrive, it is time to flee.
For more information, in Japanese (with a link to an English page), here is a page on cycling Kyoto's Gion area:
Ride Gion, ride.
