Overview

You’ve probably heard of Shibuya Crossing, but are you familiar with the backstreets of Tokyo? During this bike tour, you’ll explore central Tokyo, coasting down hidden alleyways, and get insights into the local life in Tokyo. On this Tokyo bike tour, you’ll find yourself among the labyrinthine pathways of Tokyo with a local guide, and try traditional Japanese foods which cannot be found in the typical restaurants. These tiny mom-and-pop restaurants and street stalls serve up local ingredients with big flavors, to fuel your journey! From the end of March to the beginning of April, we usually cycle under Sakura, cherry blossoms. The Tour includes several stops, and it will introduce off-the-beaten-path shopping streets. During the Tour, you’ll see a new side of Tokyo, riding around unique old-time shopping arcades and visiting. On our tours, we are passionate about showing you the lesser-known parts of central Tokyo.
