The Charm of Private Tours

One of the biggest advantages of joining a private bike tour in Tokyo is flexibility. Your guide can adjust the pace, route, and even add a coffee break depending on your preferences. This personalized approach makes your journey comfortable and memorable. With a private guide, every moment turns into a story you’ll take home.

Must-have Tokyo Tower and the Imperial Palace

If someone asked me which two places you shouldn’t miss in Tokyo, especially on Tokyo e-bike tours, my answer would be simple: Tokyo Tower and the Imperial Palace. Both are iconic landmarks. Capturing photos will be an unforgettable part of your day in Tokyo.

Old Tokyo in Tsukuda

Tsukuda offers a glimpse of old Tokyo life, where traditional houses stand surrounded by modern condos. Riding through Tsukuda with your guide adds a refreshing contrast to your Tokyo bike tour.

Our bike tour is unique; you might be invited to a house that you wouldn't be allowed to go in without us!

Highlights Along the Route

Everything is subjective, but here are some examples that you can expect as highlights on this route.

Rainbow Bridge Viewpoint

Cycling toward Tokyo Bay gives you a new perspective on the city. At the viewpoint, you’ll feel the breeze and see the iconic Rainbow Bridge stretching across the water. It’s a spectacular moment that reminds you of Tokyo’s coastal character and impressive urban development.

Shiba Park (Tokyo Tower View)

After weaving through busy streets, suddenly the scenery opens up at Shiba Park. From here, you’ll see Tokyo Tower rising gracefully over the greenery. Many visitors like to make their comments about the tower here, and you’ll surely have your own to add.

Tokyo Tower Footstep

Tokyo Tower may not be the tallest in the city, but standing right at its foot gives you a unique perspective. Looking up at its striking red and white structure will be one of the defining moments of your Tokyo bike tour.

Azabudai Hills

You will be impressed with a newly developed complex of Azabudai Hills. Your guide may also share stories about the surrounding residences—perfect for comparing everyday life in Tokyo with your own.

Toranomon

Toranomon would be a busy junction today without your guide. With your guide’s explanation, this area transforms from just another city street into a gateway to the samurai era.

Hibiya Park

In the heart of Tokyo’s business district, Hibiya Park offers peace and greenery. Depending on the season, you’ll see colorful flowers, and if you’re lucky, you might spot koi, turtles, snakes, kingfishers, or even business officers who want to take a nap. It’s an oasis that contrasts beautifully with the urban surroundings.

Imperial Palace: Sakuradamon Gate

Surprisingly, this historic gate isn’t as crowded as other spots. You’ll have the chance to stand in front of the massive stone structure almost on your own, taking in the atmosphere of centuries past.

Imperial Palace: Nijubashi Bridge

This is the highlight for many visitors. The elegant double bridge at the Imperial Palace is one of the most photographed spots in Tokyo. It’s simply breathtaking.

Hatchobori Backstreets

Just a mile from the palace, Hatchobori offers narrow, quiet backstreets that reveal a very different side of Tokyo. Exploring this area shows how diverse the city really is.

Chuo Bridge over the Sumida River

Crossing Chuo Bridge, you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of the Sumida River and see Tokyo Skytree in the distance. The fresh air and cityscape create a perfect cycling moment.

Tsukuda

Once a traditional fishing village, Tsukuda is now surrounded by modern buildings. The contrast between old and new Tokyo is striking. With your guide, you’ll visit an over-100-year-old house —a living piece of history.

After hours later, I received a lovely message from them, and it says:

A great first morning in Tokyo with Kazuma-san! In addition to the various popular sites (Tokyo tower, imperial palace) we also had the opportunity to spend time in old tokyo. We were able to get a lay of the land as well as some cultural and historical information. The ebikes do most of the work for you.
