[ Foodie’s Bike Tour NASU – NIKKO]
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.

[ Foodie’s Bike Tour NASU – NIKKO]
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.

Go with Ride Experience! Great people, very organised and the ride was beautiful!

[ 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.

[ KUMANO KODO Pilgrimage Bike & Hike]
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.

[ KUMANO KODO Pilgrimage Bike & Hike]
My husband and I went on the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Bike and Hike with Ride Experience (Bicycle Tours Japan) in November of 2024. We had a terrific time. It was very well organized and felt like an authentic Japanese experience staying at Japanese Inns and supported and led by Japanese locals. The tour leader, Takeshita and tour support, Yoko were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable individuals. The tour group was small – 7 people. There was some off-road and some highway riding but the drivers were very courteous and we never felt unsafe on the main roads. The scenery was beautiful, the food was well prepared, and accommodations were lovely. I would recommend to others looking for an active authentic Japanese experience.

We did the Foodies Tour from Nasu to Nikko. Without doubt it’s one of the best organised tours that we’ve been on. Tetsuya, Nagako and the team made it an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience.
The bikes were in very good condition and thoroughly maintained for the whole trip.
The riding , food and accommodation were exceptiona.
Would highly recommended this trip to anyone thinking about it.

[ TRANS-TOHOKU Bike Tour]
We have just completed a private trans tohoku tour with Keiji and have just had the best time. The route was unbelievable and took us across the mountain range every day from one side of the coast to the other. The scenery was maginificent, the bikes were great and well maintained, accommodation beautiful, food amazing and the onsens at the end of the day were most welcome. Can’t wait to do another tour with ride experience again.
