About this activity

This tour covers Tokyo's must-see spots ( Imperial Palace area (AM tour), Tsukiji Outer Market (AM tour) / Akihabara (PM tour), Asakusa (PM tour), and Ryogoku (PM tour) in just 3 hours!

But this is more than a typical highlights tour. In addition to Tokyo’s most popular sightseeing spots, you’ll ride through hidden backstreets, quiet neighborhoods, and local areas that most visitors never see.

Because this is a small-group bicycle tour, we can access narrow alleys and authentic streets that buses and large tours cannot reach. You’ll experience both the iconic landmarks and the everyday life of Tokyo in one dynamic ride.

This combination of must-see sights and hidden gems makes it a uniquely immersive way to understand the city — far beyond what you could experience on foot or by public transport.

It’s the perfect balance between Tokyo’s famous icons and its secret local character.
