How it Works

Renting your bicycle

  1. Choose your pick-up and drop-off point

    • We have eight conveniently located cycle terminals in Kyoto.
    • You can choose a different terminal for drop-off (for most bikes) for a 600 yen fee.
    • Unfortunately we can’t change your nominated return terminal after you’ve picked up your bike.
      Business hours for all our terminals are 9:00 to 18:00
      See all terminal locations
  2. Choose your bike

    • We have a great range of bikes. The types available vary depending on the cycle terminal.
    • Electric-assist bikes are available at Kyoto Station and Kyoto Hachijo Gate terminals.
      See our bicycles and prices
  3. Choose your time

    • Rentals over two or more consecutive days are OK! You’ll need to have a parking lot at your accommodation, though.
    • If there isn’t a parking lot at your accommodation, we ask you to sign a daily contract to prevent illegal parking.
      See the Kyoto City bicycle parking search
  4. Reserve your bike

    • Reservations are recommended. You can use our booking form up to 2 days in advance.

    • Drop-ins are OK! If we have the stock, you can rent on the spot.

Returning your bicycle

  1. Return your bike by 18:00

    • If you can’t return your bicycle at your decided drop-off terminal by 18:00, please contact us by phone.
    • Bikes not returned by 18:00 without other arrangements have to be returned after 9:00 the following day; an extension fee applies.
      Business hours for all our terminals are 9:00 to 18:00
