Zen Run in Arashiyama
Unlike typical walking tours, this Arashiyama running tour is designed for those who want to explore Kyoto while staying active. Instead of slowly moving through crowded tourist spots, you’ll jog through bamboo forests, temple paths, and riverside trails, experiencing the area in a way most travelers never do.
This is not a high-intensity run, it's a scenic, flexible-paced experience, suitable for all fitness levels. You’ll stop at breathtaking locations like the Togetsukyo Bridge and ancient shrines, with plenty of chances to take photos and learn about Kyoto’s rich history.
Plus, with an English-speaking fitness guide, you'll get local insights, running tips, and motivation throughout the journey. Whether you're a runner, a fitness enthusiast, or just someone looking for a refreshing and unique way to see Kyoto, this tour offers an unforgettable blend of movement, culture, and nature.
