Professional creators thoroughly scouted the back streets of Kyoto beforehand, designing the "most stylish angles and compositions." Just by following the specific shooting guide displayed on the web screen—such as "make the stylish mini-velo the main subject of the composition at this angle" or "place the person here with the lattice door of this narrow alley as the background"—even those who are not good at photography can easily take a professional-quality photo with their smartphone.
• [No crowds or stress] Safe and comfortable escort by a local guide (free water and helmet!)
• We will avoid crowded areas such as the area around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which is overflowing with tourists, and escort you only along quiet, retro, and beautiful back streets with little traffic. To ensure your safety, we offer free helmet rentals and complimentary bottles of cold water (one per person).
• [Stylish and refreshing ride] The "light and refreshing feeling" unique to premium mini-velo bikes.
• These are the hidden gems of Kyoto—places too far to reach on foot, and easily missed by train or car—that you can explore at a brisk pace, cutting through the wind on a lightweight mini-velo. You can ride it casually in your everyday clothes (stylish attire), not sportswear, and its design complements the retro streets of Kyoto, allowing you to experience the concentrated charm of Kyoto's local area in a short amount of time.
