[ Foodie’s Bike Tour NASU – NIKKO]
Bike tours are one of the best ways to truly experience a country. They take you beyond the big cities and into the heart of small villages and the countryside. This particular tour stood out for its exceptional food and accommodations. The traditional Ryokan hotels were a highlight. They were comfortable, authentic, and served incredible meals.
One unforgettable cultural experience was our visit to a Japanese farmhouse, where our host prepared a delicious meal for the group. Scenic pit stops at shrines, temples, cozy coffee shops, and even cheesecake and chocolate shops provided the perfect breaks along the way.
The natural beauty was breathtaking, with stunning waterfalls, dramatic gorges, and peaceful river views at every turn. And of course, what truly made the trip unforgettable was the company of like minded travelers to share the journey.

[ Satoyama & Craft Bike Tour NASU – MASHIKO]
I can’t speak highly enough of the craft and cycle tour that Tetsuya and his amazing guides organized. We were a small group and got to know each other very well. The cycling through lanes, paddy fields, villages and mountains was perfect for me. I was glad to have the e-bike which was most necessary up those mountains. We travelled through areas that were not on the tourist trail, which was a treat. The accommodation ranged from high end onsen to more family oriented, and meals were a photo op every time. The ride came to an end all too soon, many thanks Team!

This is a wonderful tour, suitable for easier riding with a good variety of themed craft stops and a variety of interesting accommodations. The nature — rice paddies, wildflowers, mountain vistas seen from the valley, rivers, singing birds and soaring water fowl — is spectacular. Riding through a hilly cedar forest brought all the senses to life. The distinctive cedar aroma remains in my memory. The food was amazing — even accommodating for dietary restrictions of certain guests. Its variety, generally healthful characteristics and precision and artistry of presentation stand out. The tour is well organized, and the staff is professional, friendly, and safety-conscious. I would certainly recommend it.

Everything was seamless – communication from enquiry to booking and then pick-up. The tour was fantastic, beautiful scenery with excellent food. Our guide was great and we really enjoyed getting to know them and the country more while riding around enjoying the area.

Japan is constant poetry, and touring with this group satisfies the deep desire to see and experience it in all its forms. The accommodations, tour routes, sites, and food events were excellently balanced and well-paced. The bikes were also top-notch. The experience felt genuinely local, not touristy. Above all, the hosts were informative and helpful without being overly fussy or managerial. An all-around fantastic experience.

This tour was a perfect introduction to Japan for our first visit. Not far from Tokyo, but a very different world. The wonderful staff, the high quality of the bikes, the hotels, onsens and food – it was all amazing. The routes selected were also very good, inevitably some connecting sections were less interesting but the great majority of the riding was on beautiful, low-traffic roads.

We, ten people from Iceland, had a wonderful experience in the Foodie ́s Bike Tour. Biking through stunning nature, sleeping in the ryokans with the beautiful onsen baths and the variety of food we got to taste was worth every penny.

[ Tohoku SAKURA Bike Tour]
The Tohoku Sakura tour was excellent in every way. The e bikes and road bikes are high quality. The accommodations range from historical ryokans to top class onsen resorts – even the food at the lunch stops was excellent. The sakura trees were awe inspiring and the scenery was spectacular – ranging from snow-capped mountains and paddy to coastal dykes. Our guides were unstinting in the level of service and our group had great camaraderie. Great thought went into creating the route so that breaks were well-timed and we had a wide range of experiences and sights. It was the very best way to experience rural Japan.

This tour exceeded my expectations. It was so great to have a professional guide to have the route and accommodations planned, add insights about what we were seeing, and help translate. I would recommend to anyone.

[ KUMANO KODO Pilgrimage Bike & Hike]
The Kumano Kodo tour exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful mix of hiking and biking, traditional and moderns hotels, natural beauty and cultural attractions, delicious food and onsens. The two tour guides, Taka-san and Yoko-san, were helpful, hardworking, and kind. The pre-tour organization was responsive and thorough. Our biking equipment worked well for the terrain. Overall we highly recommend this trip for a biking adventure in Japan.

This is a great holiday. As fit people in our late 60s we found it to be a great workout as well as a wonderful way to see the Kumano Koda. Excellent in every way and good value.
