Annual cherry blossom cycling

Cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino) bloom in Tokyo from the end of March to the beginning of April. Many people enjoy cherry blossom viewing. There are many cherry blossom viewing spots in the Tokyo Downtown Bicycle Tour area, and cycling under the cherry blossom trees is something special.

Cherry blossoms along the Sumida River, one of the three major cherry blossom spots in Tokyo

Especially beautiful are the cherry blossoms along the Sumida River. The cherry blossoms on the bank are said to have been planted on the order of Yoshimune, the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, and have been known as a cherry blossom viewing spot for the common people since the Edo period. On the Tokyo downtown bicycle tour, you will cycle under these cherry blossoms.

The cherry blossoms in the old moat are also spectacular!

Tokyo was once a waterway town, comparable to the Italian Venice, and had many moats (waterways). Unfortunately, much of it has been reclaimed, but you can still see many cherry blossoms in the area that has been turned into a park. This is also included in the Tokyo downtown bicycle tour course.

Make reservations fast!

Japanese cherry blossoms are well known overseas, and many foreign tourists visit Tokyo. Cycling tours during the cherry blossom season usually sell out early every year, so it's a good idea to book early.

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.
