“Tokyo is gorgeous by bike! I went in early December and the trees still felt like fall. I happened to be the only person who booked that morning so it was a solo tour w my guide Hiro - who was SO friendly & patient & made sure I was safe the entire journey”
Cycle 44 kilometers through Kyoto to see Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Gion, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkakuji in one full day.
“The historic sights were wonderful! Tour guides so knowledgable and fun! Seeing the city from a bicycle is truly the best way to explore a new place. The tour went everywhere in Kyoto!!! A perfect day for my husband, my 21 year-old, my 18 year-old and me!”
Ride through Tokyo’s temples, parks, palace district, Harajuku, and Shibuya on a guided 3-hour bike or e-bike tour.
“Sho and Keiji made the tour perfect for our family-group of 8. They were open for all the questions, very knowledgeable and good fun to explore the city with. Highly recommended!”
Explore Kyoto by e-bike on a small-group tour of temples, gardens, Gion, riverside paths, and quiet backstreets with an expert local guide.
“Kevin gave lots of information about Japanese religion, traditions, and practices. Besides explaining about the design and rituals of the shrines and temples, he took us through neighborhoods to talk about the houses and daily lives of the locals.”
Explore Nara by e-bike, from Todaiji and its giant Buddha to deer, Kasuga Taisha, Mt. Wakakusa, and traditional Japanese knives.
“Robert was excellent, showed us all the sights of Nara without rushing us and had great local knowledge. E bikes were great fun and a good way to get around quicker. Would 100% recommend.”
