From History to Subculture: Akihabara & Ueno Must-See Tour!

Ueno, on the other hand, has a strong image of nature and culture today, with its Ueno Zoological Gardens, National Museum, but historically, it was a place with very close ties to the Tokugawa family.

Tokyo downtown bicycle tour Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour

●Not just tourist spots! The charm of Tokyo's back alleys! The starting point for the tour is Hikifune, in downtown 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 main 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 downtown 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.
