Private cycling tour of downtown Tokyo

A private cycling tour in downtown Tokyo is a tour format where participants who have applied separately can spend their time freely without conflicting with each other.

Private one-day tours of Tokyo by bicycle are becoming very popular among foreign visitors to Japan. This time we'd like to introduce you to a trip full of the charm of Edo that will make the usual town look a little different. This is a cycling tour that anyone can do.

Not just tourist spots! The charm of Tokyo's back alleys!

The starting point for the tour is Hikifune, in downtown Tokyo. While looking up at the 643m tall Tokyo Sky Tree, you can see the traditional back alley scenery below.

In addition, between each stop, we purposely run along back alleys rather than the main streets. Tokyo's roads are said to be more complex and difficult to understand than those in other cities, but with the help of a guide who knows the area well, try getting lost in the ``labyrinth'' that is unique to the downtown area.

Cycling to feel the streets of Edo

Even though it's a bicycle tour, it's a private tour, so you can choose your own pace! You can enjoy the course slowly while imagining the Edo period townscape that spreads out in the downtown area, or you can enjoy the speed of a light bicycle while feeling the breeze, and the tour will take you around Tokyo at your own pace.

Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour is a company that operates cycling tours around Asakusa, which is also the downtown area of ​​Tokyo. The tour areas include the Asakusa area around Sensoji Temple, Ryogoku, and Fukagawa, all of which retain the atmosphere of the Edo period. At the same time, you will also run through modern landscapes such as the Tokyo Sky Tree. This contrast between old and new is what makes Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour so appealing. There are two basic tours: a 4-hour afternoon tour, and a slightly more compact 2.5-hour morning tour. In addition to these, there are tours that take a one-way water bus and visit places such as Tsukiji Outer Market while enjoying seafood bowls at seaside restaurants, and tours that run from Asakusa to Nihonbashi, Ginza, the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, etc. We also offer one-way tours that end at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. A major feature of this tour is that it travels not only through tourist spots, but also through alleys in residential areas and nostalgic shopping streets. The maximum capacity for one group is 4 people, but if you would like to have more than 5 people, please contact us in advance and we may be able to accommodate you. Our guide is Takeshi, who has participated in bicycle tours around the world and has experience creating overseas guidebooks, and will tell you about the charms of Tokyo that cannot be found on the website. We look forward to your participation.
