●Not just tourist spots! The charm of Tokyo's back alleys! The tour starts in Hikifune, Tokyo's downtown area. It is close to Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree, so it is easily accessible. From March to April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom around the course. There are several points on the tour where you can ride under the cherry blossoms. In addition, between each stopover spot, you will ride through back alleys instead of the main streets. Compared to other cities, Tokyo's roads are said to be more complicated and difficult to understand, but with the guidance of a guide who knows this area well, try to get lost in the "labyrinth" unique to the downtown area. ●Cycling to experience the Edo townscape There are many Edo strolls and city walks, but there are not many bicycle tours. You can enjoy the course at a leisurely pace while imagining the townscape of the Edo period, or enjoy the speed of a light bicycle while feeling the breeze. We will tour Tokyo at your own pace. If you wish, you can also use a tandem bicycle. Please apply in advance.
