For us Japanese, it is natural that women and children can walk alone in the city at night. People from many countries would be surprised at how safe Japan is at night, with many shops open and the city being clean as a result.
Another appealing feature is that famous spots like Gion, which are crowded during the day, are less crowded at night and you can enjoy a more mystical atmosphere.
Although it doesn't have the same absolute advantages as during the day, E-Bikes still offer a great experience in Kyoto at night. It's faster than a taxi, more comfortable than walking, and you can climb hills and look down at the night view. The only drawback is that you can't drink alcohol.
Pickup included
We start cycling near Nijo Castle. The World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle, is lit up at night, with its beautiful white walls. We will give you a detailed lesson on how to use the E-Bike.
It's not possible to cycle during the day, but at night some shopping streets allow bicycles. Get used to cycling at night on well-lit, safe routes.
We rode bike up Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. When there were people around, We got off and pushed my bike for safety. There are a lot of people during the day, but at night it's very mysterious. This area is far from the station and taxis cannot get there, so unless you're staying nearby the only way to get there is by bicycle.
