After getting breakfast, we got our electric bikes at http://www.kyoto-option.com/ , bar none the best place to get electric bikes in Kyoto, with service in Englsh, and extended hours (very early in the morning to late at night). We started with Toji, wihch has the highest Pagoda in Japan, but it's actually a huge complex with much to visit:
high tech or backup fire suppression system :)
