自転車で京都伏見へ

Torii Gates at Fushimi Inari KyotoCycling Kyoto Fushimi

日本語ご希望の方

In deep south Kyoto is Fushimi. It is a world apart, hard by the Uji River and a series of canals.

Riding south from central Kyoto or Kyoto Station, a good first stop would be Tofukuji Temple. It is a large zen complex, much of it is free, and bike parking is easy.

Continuing south is Fushimi Inari Shrine, the number one of some 32,000 of such shrines in Japan.

To get to Fushimi proper, near the Fushimi Momoyama (Keihan Railways) and Momoyama Goryo-mae (Kintetsu Railways) train stations, cyclists should continue south on the narrow north-south route 119.

In Fushimi are sake breweries, an inn where national hero Sakamoto Ryoma was attacked and badly injured, and other sites.

Ride Fushimi ride.
