Great ride for such a beautiful place! Last time my wife and I visited Kyoto, we had explored parts of the routes as those on your trip. We rode to Arashiyama and tried to make a loop back to the Togetsu Bridge along Katsuragawa. But we gave up the idea for not sure if there was any path along Katsuragawa. Wish we have chances to visit Kyoto again. Thank you for sharing.

I couldn't find the section between Kaijusenji and Shinrin Koen, unless it's the trail with all the steps, so you have to carry the bike all the way.
I now live in Kizugawa, and would be happy to show you trails in those hills, or vice versa.
All the best, Richard

Parts of the scenery looked familiar to me. We happened to cycle along some of the routes in spring this year. Oh, how I missed Kyoto.

Hi Southsider. Thanks for viewing my latest trip. The cycle-way along the Kamo River go a long-way upstream. This is a really-great way to experience scenery without having to contend with the traffic, and all that comes with it. I intend to write more articles on river-cycling,including Arashiyama.

Long name, excellent trip.
This looks like another good one, Barry; although my knees prefer the long gradual climbs over the steep ascents of my youth.

Thanks Kevin.I thought,once I realised that I had taken the wrong turn-off,I would just go where the wind took me,so to say,and,as a result,I had a great ride.I will definitely be returning to this area.
