We did the 5 day Nasu Slow Life tour with Nagako and Hiro. We had such a great trip and loved every minute of it. The guides were great, the routes were scenic, and the food/Ryokan were amazing. It was honestly such a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back someday.

I’ve only been on one, but I’m going to call it and say that this is by far the best cycling tour company in Japan. Our group of 6 old, overweight and unfit riders with unlimited determination had an incredible 6-day e-bike trip with Nagako and Kenji as guides. The riding was stunning and just challenging enough. The accommodations were a mix of amazing and comfortable. The food was consistently excellent. Staying at ryokans and hotels with onsen was the perfect end to each day. Highly recommend cycling with the Ride Experience team.

Did a 5 day Nasu & Nikko ride with Nagako, Hiro & Keijj, and had the best time - stays at lovely accommodation, including a beautiful ryokan set among a raging stream and mountains, luxurious meals, and scenic rides. The crew were excellent - accommodating, friendly and made sure we were always taken care of. Highlights were the farmhouse lunch, ride through the Cedar forest and visits to some epic waterfalls. Perfect ride trip!

Six of us booked a custom, five day,self-guided "foodie" tour with Ride Experience. We had a terrific time, despite some challenging weather at times (which of course one can do nothing about). Nagako was an excellent leader and fun person to be with. We rented Cannondale Synapse bicycles, which were excellent to ride on, with disc brakes. Highlights were a farmhouse lunch, a forest trail through a cedar grove, terrific food overall and lovely accommodations. We generally found quiet roads to ride on. I would highly recommend Ride Experience.

We spent two days cycling with Tetsuya and his team in the Nasu area of Tochigi. We explored so many hidden places completely free of throngs of tourists, rode quiet gravel paths, experienced deep dark forests, stopped at hidden shrines and whooshed down awesome downhill routes. What I loved most was that when you meet fellow cyclists who have a passion to share their love, the whole experience is elevated. Tetsuya truly understands the bike is your ticket to adventure…within 5 minutes of our first day we were riding across a narrow swing suspension bridge, water raging below us…total fun and immersion right from the word go!! The Ride Experience team are such an interesting gang to spend time with…fun, knowledgeable, passionate and highly skilled and well aware of other riders limits. Clearly a very professional team and I can’t wait to explore more with them.
