Challenge the Beauty of Lake Biwa in Kyoto!

☀️ On sunny days, make sure to plan a cycling trip around Lake Biwa 🚴‍♀️—it's absolutely stunning!

🟡 How to Rent a Bike❓
Take the JR line from 【Kyoto Station】 to 【Ishiyama Station】, about a 13-minute ride. Exit from the south gate.
The bike rental shop 【Ekirin-kun】 is located just down the stairs near the train tracks, on the left-hand side. 🈺 Operating hours: 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
📝 Passport required.
💰 Electric-assist bike: 800 yen, Regular bike: 500 yen. Electric-assist bikes make the ride much easier!

🟡 Cycling Route❓ Refer to 【P2】
The route is roughly a dozen kilometers long, with dedicated cycling paths for most of the way. Ride counterclockwise along the lakeside for a relaxing and scenic experience.
🍟 You'll pass by 【Aeon Mall】 along the way. The food court on the 3rd floor is perfect for refueling, cooling off, and taking a break!
👒 Late August can be extremely hot and sunny, so bring a sun hat and apply sunscreen! (Of course, it's best to visit during cooler weather, haha!)
