You might picture Tokyo as an endless urban energy, and while that’s part of its charm, it’s not the whole story.
Tokyo actually boasts an abundance of serene green areas! The absolute best way to truly experience this natural landscape, with all its hidden parks and green pathways, is a private e-bike tour! Feel the breeze on your face as you cycle through the vibrant cityscape, then discover the unexpected tranquility of lush Japanese gardens and tree-lined avenues.
This time, we planned a round trip from the bustling hub of Shibuya to the majestic Imperial Palace, and we added some beautiful natural Japanese gardens based on our guests’ preferences.
Let’s take a look at how this unique adventure unfolded.
