What To Expect

In the early morning, meet your local guide in a centrally located meeting spot. Strap on your helmet, jump on your bicycle, and begin your 6.5-hour tour of Tokyo. Starting among the tall skyscrapers of Shinjuku, ride at a relaxed pace through backstreets to see a small shrine in a residential area, a great example of Tokyo's contrasting modern and traditional atmospheres. Then, head over to Meiji-jingu, the city’s most famous Shinto religious site, through Yoyogi Park where cherry blossoms bloom in the spring. Take your time to walk around the peaceful gardens that surround the shrine with your guide. Pedal your way to Japan’s Roppongi Hills entertainment complex through the main street of Omotesando — one of the most sophisticated shopping areas in all of Japan — and then take a backstreet to the Aoyama cemetery, which looks and feels like Tokyo 100 years ago. Next, stop at a local supermarket to buy a bento box for lunch, just like local at your own expense. Then, visit Zōjō-ji temple where Tokyo Tower can be seen just behind. Enjoy lunch on the waterfront just beside the Rainbow Bridge with panoramic views of the Tokyo skyline including the Aqua City Odaiba complex. After lunch, bike through the main and back streets of Ginza. Check out this exclusive shopping district then cycle your way to the Imperial Palace, home to a traditional Japanese garden, tea pavilion, stone walls, and a moat. Ride through the two outer gates of the castle, then follow along some of the large moat. Head back to Shinjuku and to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Ascend 48 floors in a high-speed elevator and enjoy the 360-degree view of Tokyo, including the Tokyo Skytree, and even Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Its then just a 5-minute ride back to the original meeting point where your tour concludes.

This Tokyo city bike tour was absolutely outstanding and became one of the true highlights of the trip. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made every stop—from quiet backstreets to major landmarks—feel special and memorable. The pace was comfortable, the bikes were well maintained, and the small group size meant plenty of time for questions, photos, and local insights. It felt like discovering a side of Tokyo that most visitors never see, and it left a huge smile on my face the entire day.
Best Tour of Tokyo!!!

This was absolutely the best way to see and experience Tokyo!! Gaku was an amazing guide. He is very friendly, funny and gave us a great tour through the city. It was amazing going through back streets and little neighborhoods, he took us to a couple shrines that aren't on maps. We were a group of 3 and the tour felt very personable and overall the best experience in Tokyo. Riding was mostly all flat. A few hills here and there but nothing major.
Unforgettable and amazing!!!

Gaku’s carefully curated route is phenomenal - you hit so many major landmarks and discover some hidden gems that only a local could show you. The entire day is sprinkled with historical facts and funny anecdotes, courtesy of Gaku’s amazing lived experiences. Highly recommend!

Gaku was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the city. He guided us well and we saw so much of Central Tokyo that would've taken days otherwise, we felt very safe the whole time. He who told us about his adventures around the world including Mount Everest which was fascinating, as well as his uncle who skiid down Everest! Major props to him and his amazing adventurous family! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see many of Tokyo's major landmarks in a fast and alternative way from the usual guided tours!
Fun and safe

This is a beautiful and efficient way to see Tokyo. You cover 10 different sights including some that aren't marked at all on google maps and cycle about 27 kilometres over 5-6 hours, so very chilled out pace. Guide: Gaku will be your guide. He speaks very good English and knows a lot about the city, being local. I've done some trip advisor bike tours in other Asian cities where the guide wasn't local and couldn't speak the language so really happy that that wasn't the case this time. He's very personable and engaging, has a slightly crazy laugh that is infectious and is really just a chilled out dude. Safety: Gaku provides helmets and limits the group number to 4-5 so he can take care of everyone. He checks every turn for traffic and is constantly looking back to check on the group. He also takes pictures and sends them to you after so you don't have to. Safety briefing is given at the start. Bikes are high end and well maintained. He is an advanced mountain biker himself. What to bring: raincoat. It did start to rain unexpectedly during our ride even though the weather forecast said otherwise. He'll take you to a shop to buy lunch and you'll cycle to a really nice spot to sit and eat. There is a bathroom at every stop.

Gaku was an excellent guide for our bike tour. We have been to Tokyo three other times and this was a new exciting experience for us. We bike at home but I never imagined we could bike in a city as busy as Tokyo. We saw the city from a new perspective and enjoyed seeing the small shrines as well as the big skyscrapers. I would highly recommend Gaku and the bike tour as it gives you a good overview of the sights of Tokyo, both large and small.
Exceptional tour of Tokyo with Gaku!!!

The bike tour with Gaku was exceptional! You visit many of Tokyo’s highlights in one day and you benefit from Gaku’s explanations and anecdotes in addition! Gaku is the guide you need to discover Tokyo in one day, which will undoubtedly be filled with laughter and thrills. I highly recommend this tour!!!

We had a fantastic day cycling around central Tokyo with Gaku! His tour is really well organised and gives visitors the chance to see both popular attractions and hidden gems. Gaku is so kind and loves to chat with everyone in the group. He also took pictures of us while riding and emailed them to us the same day. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys cycling!
