Stop for a traditional snack in the Ningyo-cho district. Enjoy a sweet pastry filled with red bean paste, handmade in many local shops. These desserts are often shaped like the seven deities from Japanese mythology. Savor the treat and learn about its history.

Once the home of an Edo-era merchant and later a feudal lord, this garden was bought by Mitsubishi’s founder during the Meiji Period. It was transferred to city ownership in 1932 and features a landscape garden with numerous stones. The pond is home to friendly koi and turtles. This beautiful traditional garden is a hidden gem.

Don't miss the chance to whizz through Tokyo on a cool e-bike! - This tour was the perfect opportunity to see Tokyo from a different perspective! Seeing the city on foot and traveling by train just isn’t the same as whizzing through the streets on a cool e-bike. Biking through the Odaiba area was incredibly safe and enjoyable—I was pleasantly surprised by the number of bike lanes! The streets were so clean, and the traffic was impressively well-organized. For me, the highlight of this tour was biking over the various bridges and taking in the night views of the city. The skyscrapers looked stunning all lit up, and I loved seeing the reflections of the lights on the river. The view of the bay at sunset was spectacular—I didn’t want the tour to end!

Great time! - I had so much fun on this tour! At first I was really nervous riding an E-bike since it's been a long time since I've ridden a bike in general. However, because there was a motor on it, it actually made things easier! I could enjoy all of the places we went to and our guide was very knowledgeable!

The most beautiful night view of Tokyo bay - The night view of Odaiba/ Tokyo was amazing. Our guide took us to all the beautiful places where other tourists could not have access to! The e-bike was so stylish and comfortable for our tour. Highly recommended for your Tokyo vacation.

Smooth Sailing - This was my first time ever riding an E-bike so wasn't entirely sure what to expect. Boy, it's quite nice the feeling of going up bridges and enjoying the view rather than huffing and puffing. Our guide Naomi was so sweet and gave us historical information about the places that we visited. I'll be sure to visit the fort park she mentioned in the tour!

Great way to explore Tokyo - This trip was really great! I enjoyed visiting the various places. The e-bike is great because it’s not hard on the legs especially for someone who’s unfit like me 😅 Naomi was excellent! She is kind and well informed about the various spots and was always ready to take your picture. overall 9/10 experience. Disadvantage: The bike can be a bit uncomfortable.

E-bike tours on the bay - We did this tour in 5, plus Hiro who was our Guide and, which is not obvious in Japan, speaks good English and makes himself understood clearly. It was a pleasant afternoon, we saw interesting things that I really don't think we would have seen independently.

Love the bike tour! - It was really interesting to learn more about Japanese culture and architecture! Also, we can save a lot of time by taking a train or bus instead of doing a tour in Tokyo! I really enjoy the tour, and I really recommend it. The tour guide Daiichi-san is also really nice and careful.

THE BEST TOUR!! - Hiro (our tour guide) was the best!! I had an absolute blast. I went at 3:45pm and it went into the evening so we were able to watch the sunset and pedal at night. I would recommend this 3 hour tour for anyone who wants to see a lot of the city. We stopped at so many cool places and even hit up some local spots. Thank you Hiro for making this experience really enjoyable. I would go again and again! I did the Odiba tour!!
