Tour Overview

Join a like-minded group of guests on an ALL INCLUSIVE cycling, walking, and food jaunt through Tokyo's inner west side on a salvaged'mamachari' bicycle.

On this all-season, all-weather Tokyo cycling tour, we'll explore the eclectic local neighborhoods of Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya while pedaling to the rhythm of everyday life.

Nothing is off limits as we discover the urban landscapes, offbeat attractions, and enticing cuisine that give these culturally rich enclaves their distinct character with the insider knowledge of a seasoned local guide.

Test your cycling skills as we ride the twisting backstreets, learn about the intricacies of neighborhood life, enjoy a tailored selection of Japanese street food eats, firsthand experience Tokyo's unique cycling culture, and jostle for counter space with hungry'salarymen' as we refuel for lunch.
