Nijo Castle to Enmachi

JR Nijo Station - Enmachi Area 二条駅～円町

Overview

If you are heading west from the Nijo Castle area to Enmachi (or vice versa) and beyond, a side street that runs parallel to the train tracks 10 meters above you is relatively car-free.

This street is not a bike lane but a one-way street for automobiles that, thankfully, rarely use it. It will take you to Nijo Station and is perfect for a ride down to Nijo Castle or the Cineplex at Nijo Station.

If you are riding back from Arashiyama on Marutamachi to the center of town or Nijo Castle, at Enmachi - where Marutamachi and Nishioji meet, cross to the southwest corner, turn right to go south on Nishioji Dori.

Just before you get to the train tracks, turn left onto a street that runs next to it.
