Ride Tokyo’s streets like a local and discover off-the-beaten-track, historic villages with this 11-day trip where you’ll be guided by an expert local leader. Japan is the perfect destination to discover by bicycle – serene lakeside rides, rolling hills dotted with Edo-period merchant homes and streets fragrant with the aromas of renowned local cuisine await you. This cycling adventure gives you a slowed down, up close look at this fascinating country and provides plenty of opportunities to meet the locals and experience Japan’s culture. See the temples, shrines and geiko (geisha) of Kyoto, witness the frenetic but exhilarating chaos of Tokyo and behold the mountainous countryside of the Gifu Prefecture – this cycling adventure has it all.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. It is very important that you provide your height at time of booking so we can ensure that you have the appropriate sized bicycle when your trip starts. If you do not provide your height ahead of arrival we cannot guarantee a suitably sized bike for you.

2. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 5 and Day 7 where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.

3. It is essential that you pack light and compact for rail travel in Japan. Luggage size restrictions apply. Please review the Packing section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.

4. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. Please bring your own bike helmet from home. Helmets can be purchased in Kyoto if needed.

5. An e-bike option (at additional cost) may be available on this trip. We have limited numbers of these bikes available, and they are an 'on request' basis only.

6. Due to operational restrictions clients are unable to bring their own bikes on this trip.

7. Under Japanese law, all cyclists must have third-party liability insurance in the prefectures we ride through. As many travel insurance policies do not include this we will enrol you in local cover. To do this, we’ll need to collect your address and phone number at the welcome meeting.
