Overview

●Not just tourist spots! The charm of Tokyo's back alleys!
The starting point for the tour is Hikifune, in city centre Tokyo. It is conveniently located near Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree.

From March to April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom around the course. There are many points on the tour where you can run under the cherry blossoms.

In addition, between each stop, we purposely run along back alleys rather than the high 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, you can get lost in the ``labyrinth'' that is unique to the city centre area.

●Cycling to feel the streets of Edo
There are many ways to explore Edo and the city, but there are not many tours that use bicycles.

You can enjoy the course slowly while imagining the townscapes of the Edo period, 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.

Two-seater tandem bicycles are also available upon request. Please apply in advance.

Activity itinerary

Sakuramochi, a Cherry Cake, is one of the most famous Japanese traditional sweets, which is wrapped in a salt-pickled cherry leaf, filled with red bean paste. They say, this shop founded the first Sakuramochi in Edo era. Why it is wrapped with salt-pickled leaf? Probably, somebody looked to a lot of leaves on ground, fallen from cherry blossom trees, and thought to use them for some food. *On Monday, we visit another Japanese sweet shop.
