Japan

Where timeless traditions meet modern wonders

Japan bike tours

At the heart of Japan is "omotenashi", the concept of genuine and wholehearted hospitality that is deeply ingrained in all aspects of Japanese life. A journey to this welcoming land reveals a cultural richness, from the artistry of tea ceremonies to the performances of Noh and Kabuki theater, and the exploration of ancient temples and imperial palaces. Culinary enthusiasts can savor Japanese cuisine, featuring sushi, ramen, tempura, and a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Across the country, natural wonders abound, from iconic cherry blossoms in spring to serene mountains and rejuvenating hot springs. In urban hubs like Tokyo, you’ll find technological marvels and futuristic architecture, while the Akihabara district showcases the world of anime and manga.

Exploring Japan by bike offers the opportunity to experience its varied landscapes and unique cultural heritage, spanning buzzing Tokyo streets, coastal roads, mountains, and charming rural villages.

“Riding through bamboo and cedar forests, rolling along the spectacular coastline, and crossing long bridges on quiet safe roads and paths, was a truly memorable cycling holiday.”
—M. Tennant
