Tokyo Private Bike Tour mit dem Harajuku Bike Shop – 3 Stunden

This was our first vacation to Japan as a family of 4 with two teenagers (from California). We had an amazing time on the bike tour with Kentaro! He customized the route to fit our interests and made sure we had a great time. We felt comfortable and safe following a guide rather than trying to navigate with our phones. We were able to cover a lot of Tokyo that we would never have found on our own. Kentaro and his brother were super communicative, providing details about the ride. When it rained on our scheduled tour, they rescheduled for the next day. My whole family would highly recommend this bike experience without hesitation.

We have traveled to Tokyo 3 times now and have frequented Baggage Coffee on each occasion, which is how we met Kotaru and his brother (operators of Ono Wheel). They mentioned the tour service during our first trip but our itineraries were fairly fixed. However, this visit we left room for a cycle tour. Having spent time in Tokyo before, and being familiar with the main tourist attractions, my wife and I floated the idea of touring the toilets featured in Wim Wenders' recent film 'Perfect Days' (which my wife and I adore). Not only did they seem receptive to the idea, the amount of preparation blew us away. When we showed up for our tour Kotaru had the locations mapped out, had watched the film the night before, and had even selected certain camera angles from a few of the scenes to recreate for our photos. The ride was amazing, Tokyo MUST be seen from the saddle of a bicycle, Kotaru was a warm, generous host, and the day will live in our hearts forever.

The whole experience was great. I meant to do it in 2024 but did not have the bandwidth to fit it in on my itinerary. Two years later, for my bachelor party, I got to finally do it. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable ride around Tokyo. It rained halfway through the ride but through it all, our guide Kotaro was super great. He offered several options when it rained - either to continue with the planned route or to skip one and if we were good to keep going despite the rain. We visited a a bakery before heading back to the bike rental shop. Back at the bike shop there is a coffee shop that is also really good. We got coffee and matcha there while enjoying our baked goods. I would certainly do this bike ride again in the future and perhaps see if Kotaro has any other routes in mind. 5/5 stars, I highly recommend this bike tour!

This private bike tour of Shibuya was the highlight of my first trip to Japan! We were able to see the city from a different perspective that we would otherwise have missed out on. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the city. I highly recommend this tour! Great coffee too.

Good route, energy and people. I felt safe the whole event
