  • [A New Sensation] A stylish, experiential cycling photo adventure where you hunt for beautiful Kyoto scenery with your smartphone! "I want to capture the beautiful scenery of Kyoto in photos, but when I take pictures myself, they just end up being ordinary souvenir photos..." "I'm not confident in my photography skills..." For people like you, we've created a completely new "photo hunt tour" that you should definitely try! Ride a premium, stylish mini-velo (small-wheeled bicycle) and speed through Kyoto's quiet, retro back streets, avoiding the crowded main streets. With your smartphone in hand, hunt (collect) the beautifully designed compositions that have been set up in advance! This plan mainly takes you to spots in the southwest area of ​​Kyoto Station (Nishi Honganji Temple, Shimabara Central Market, Toji Temple, etc.)! ~Experience Flow~ ① Meeting and Safety Briefing Meet with your guide at the meeting place. At "Passione Kyoto," you will be fitted with a premium mini-velo, check its operation, and learn the rules for safe riding. 1) Access a dedicated URL from your smartphone and launch a "Web app" that can be easily started without downloading anything. 2) High-tempo "Scenery Hunt" Cycling Avoid the main streets crowded with tourists and zip along Kyoto's quiet back streets and retro townscapes. Follow professionally designed compositions and hunt for beautiful scenery with your smartphone at a brisk pace. 3) Free time for exploring and relaxing at historical landmarks Park your bicycle in a safe place and explore the historical area on foot. This is a short break to freely take photos from your favorite angles. 4) Deep historical areas and "Mini-velo composition hunt" Cycl through narrow alleys and hidden shrines and temples that retain the atmosphere of Kyoto. Incorporate a stylish mini-velo as a spice in your composition and quickly conquer spots where you can take professional-level smartphone photos that make the most of light and shadow. 5) Last run & mission complete! Enjoy the pleasant breeze as you return to the starting point. Finally, let's check out the amazing photos you've hunted in your camera roll (must-have images that are sure to be a hit on social media!) and celebrate the completion of our digital mission!
  • [Even if you're not good at photography, it's okay!] Just trace the "perfect composition" designed by a professional!
  • Simply open the dedicated URL in your smartphone's browser at the start, and the photo hunt game will begin instantly. 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.
