What you'll do
Adjust your seat post and get set for a whirlwind cycling tour through the local neighbourhoods of Tokyo on a classic 'steel' road bike, handcrafted by a Japanese master frame-builder.
Sought by collectors and bicycle connoisseurs throughout the globe, nothing compares to gracing the streets on the saddle of a vintage chromoly bike that's been meticulously crafted with Japanese precision and beauty.
Cycle in style on a rotating lineup of classic road and track bike frames from the revered Japanese bicycle workshops of Zunow, 3Rensho, Nagasawa, Toei, Ganwell, Kalavinka, Nakagawa, Cherubim and company.
Backstreets, sidewalks and riverside cycling trails; this 20 km+ Tokyo vintage bike tour will provide it all as we ride the eclectic Tokyo wards of Nakano, Suginami, Musashino, and Mitaka on the inner west side of this bustling city.
NOTES:
This Tokyo cycling tour has been tailored as an unadulterated road bike ride. Formulaic sightseeing and historical commentary is not on the itinerary.
Cruiser / city bikes can be provided for riders who'd prefer to pedal in comfort. For a more immersive and social ride, check out my popular offering: ‘Tokyo West-Side Cycling & Food Jaunt’ and the 750+ testimonials from happy guests.
*For dates and times not published or for private and family Tokyo bike tours, feel free to say hello and I'll do my best to accommodate your requirements.*

Where you'll be
We'll take a 5 minute walk through my neighbourhood of Koenji to collect our bikes and set off to cycle the streets of West Tokyo.
This area of town presents an honest insight into the local infrastructure and everyday life here in Tokyo.
Tight backstreets, crowded sidewalks, leafy bike trails, areas of industry and urban decay; our course will provide it all.

We had a great tour with Andy. He is a very friendly, great guide, who adapted the tour's speed and route to our personal conditions and wishes. Andy took us around the neighbourhood districts and along the Zenpukuji River, where we even could spot cormorants and cranes. It is an amazing tour where you'll see nice, small streets, parks and places far from usual tourist spots and trails. Andy also thought of having fuel stops on the way.
The bikes were very smooth rides. A 80's Japanese handmade racer "Cherubim" was a dream, optically and technically. Also the other one, a cruiser-like bike, was perfectly maintained and easy to ride. That one was fitted with a front basket. But he has a lot of bikes to choose amongst...
Andy answered all of our questions and we got a lot of good information about local places worth to see, restaurants and clubs to visit, architecture, sports, nature. His hints helped us and were an inspiration to our own tours during the rest of our stay in town.
All in all a great, safe and comfortable ride with much input for us! We loved that Andy even ordered good weather, too. We will definitely go back to the river to see the cormorants and cranes!
