For this tour, we recommend starting from:
Main Viewing Spots
Here are the main viewing spots on this route. You can add/omit these spots according to your preferences.
Kyu Asakura House, a century-old Japanese residence
Tucked away from Shibuya, this traditional Japanese house and its beautiful strolling garden transport you to another era. Walk through the creaking wooden corridors and admire the garden from a tatami room—a perfect moment of serenity among the bustling city.
Hatonomori Hachiman Shrine, a local shrine
What’s the difference between a shrine and a temple? Visit this local shrine in a quiet neighborhood to learn about Japanese spiritual traditions. Try drawing an lucky fortune or exploring the mini-Mt. Fuji.
Meiji Shrine and Gaien
Located just steps from Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine is always crowded with visitors. But did you know it also includes the Omotesando and Gaien areas? Thanks to your e-bike, you can explore its expansive grounds effortlessly.
Yoyogi Park
Yoyogi Park is one of the best places in Tokyo to enjoy nature, whether it’s cherry blossoms in spring or crimson red leaves in autumn. Cycling through this vast space in wind is an unforgettable experience.
Shoto, a luxurious residential area
A name you won’t find in guidebooks! This high-end residential area showcases Tokyo’s modern housing scene. Curious about life in Tokyo? Compare it to your own home as you cycle through. Nearby, a charming café street awaits for a short break.
Why Choose a Private Tour?
Everyone has different travel preferences. Some want to see iconic sites, while others seek hidden gems. Some travel solo, others with family. With a private bike tour in Tokyo, you can customize the route to meet your interests—whether it’s the locations listed above or other special requests.
The Advantage of E-Bikes
Not everyone on a bike tour is an enthusiastic cyclist. And let’s face it—Tokyo has a lot of hills. But with an e-bike, there’s no need to struggle up slopes. Even an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old can enjoy the ride effortlessly. Our Tokyo Bike Bliss e-bikes are also foldable and adjustable to fit your body.

Epilogue (Review from the guests)
A few days later, there was a heartwarming review from them, reminding me of our lovely morning ride. Here is a quote.
Kazuma is the perfect guide. His route was very well researched. Our 3+ hour tour took us through backroads and parks, avoiding the heavy city traffic. His bikes are impeccably maintained, and the e-boost made the ride a breeze. Kazuma is funny, well-versed in history, and offers fascinating facts about both famous and hidden locations. Starting and ending at our hotel was a huge plus.
