Delve into the eclectic local neighbourhoods of Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya as we pedal to the rhythm of everyday life on this all-season, all-weather neighbourhood jaunt.
With the insider knowledge of a seasoned local, nothing’s off limits as we encounter the urban landscapes, neighbourhood attractions and enticing cuisine that gives these culturally rich areas their distinctive character.

- This is a ‘no-fuss’ Tokyo cycling, walking and food tour with an emphasis on socialising, exploration and local discovery. There won’t be any major sightseeing or ‘fine dining’ stops on our itinerary.
- For the enjoyment of the group and your personal safety, you are expected to be competent riding a bicycle in an urban environment through narrow and potentially crowded streets and on uneven surfaces for a distance of roughly 12 - 15 km (7.5 - 9.5 mi).
- Guests should be over 140 cm in height (4’7) to comfortably ride the bikes and helmets can be provided for all participants on request.
- All salvaged ‘mamachari’ bicycles are ‘Japanese-sized’ and come equipped with front baskets that have the capacity to hold a standard sized backpack.
- Japanese cuisine often contains meat and seafood elements, with ‘dashi’ being a common base ingredient. Please understand that we will be visiting typical local eateries and that it can be difficult to cater to personal tastes, dietary requirements and food allergies.
- Group size, environmental factors and the speed in which the group eats and cycles will all impact on the finishing time of our bike tour. As a rough guide, it’s a 3.5 to 4 hour outing.
- Please appreciate that you have chosen an outdoor activity that may be impacted by the weather. If we encounter a rainy day, basic ponchos will be provided and our cycling tour generally proceeds as planned.
- By attending this Tokyo bike tour you acknowledge the adventurous nature of the ride and that participation can involve a degree of personal risk. Cycling liability insurance is included for the cycling portion of our experience but you are expected to possess comprehensive travel insurance to protect yourself from unforeseen incidents.
