My visit to Japan had been truly memorable thanks to the incredible e-bike tour guided by Mickey. From Marunouchi to Kanda, Akihabara, and beyond, every moment was filled with wonder, history and discovery.

Mickey's extensive knowledge and passionate storytelling illuminated each stop along the way, revealing hidden histories and cultural gems we would have otherwise overlooked.

The added touch of Go-Chan capturing our memories with her photography was beyond thoughtful. Their kindness and attention to detail, especially in recognizing my husband's birthday, was a super special surprise.

Exploring the streets of Ochanomizu and Jimbocho while indulging in delicious treats like the warm waffles filled with custard and azuki beans was a delightful adventure. Witnessing two weddings at the Kanda shrine added a touch of serenity to our journey.

Mickey and Go Chan are well above outstanding; their warmth, knowledge, and genuine care made our time in Japan unforgettable.

Mahalo Micky "Kumiko" for guiding us through Japan's rich tapestry with such grace and enthusiasm.

If you are planning to visit Japan, we highly recommend that you sign up for this e-bike tour and request for Micky to be your guide and Go-Chan to be your complimentary photographer.

Sokoiko!!!

We started from Tokyo Station and cycled around Kanda, Akihabara, Kudan, the Imperial Palace, and other areas.
I hadn't participated in many tours like this, so I thought 3 hours was a long time, but since it was an electric bicycle, I didn't get tired, and there were snack breaks, so I had no problems with my physical strength. The tour was also story-based, and the guide at each spot gave me a lot of trivia, which I enjoyed.
I've been to Tokyo many times for sightseeing and work, but I've never had a chance to go to deep places like the downtown area, so this was the most fun. On a bicycle, the scenery of the good old downtown area of Kanda seemed to instantly switch to the big city of Akihabara, and although I've been to Akihabara many times, it was a fresh experience.
Above all, the guide was very attentive, and the tour progressed with everyone participating, with quizzes and questions for each participant, so the 3 hours flew by.

The 3 hour bike trip was so much fun !
Electric bicycles are really easy to ride so we didn’t get tired at all.
We were able to learn a lot about Tokyo and the history of Japan!
It was exciting to ride in the middle of Akihabara and see the beautiful sceneries of the Imperial Palace.
There’s a restroom stop in the middle, a fun quiz time, and a delicious Japanese treat :)

I highly recommend this tour for families and those who would like to discover Tokyo in a unique & fun way!

Mickey was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly guide! Providing historical and informative details, she took us some hidden spots in the urban canyons. We really had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Tokyo we wouldn't have ever known. Taking bikes was a great way to especially explore the hidden sites in Tokyo! I highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Mickey!

The cycling tour I joined was just awesome and way better than I ever expected. Every spot we visited had its own unique feel and burst of colors. Cycling through old Tokyo neighborhoods, lively shopping districts, and the ruins of the old Edo castle was just brilliant. The views were something else, especially seeing the huge skyscrapers and the imperial palace right next to each other. The sweet treat we got halfway through the tour was truly amazing. Our guide gave us quizzes that made learning about Japanese history and culture fun. She was incredibly friendly and made everyone feel super welcome.

Our guide was very friendly and the 3 hours flew by.

It was a refreshing ride around the Imperial Palace, where you can experience old streets and Japanese pop culture.

You can see the many faces of Tokyo.

There is also a reason behind the origins of the areas you have visited without thinking much about them, and you can learn about them in a fun quiz format.

This tour will change the way you see Tokyo and Japan.

If you visit Tokyo or Japan, this is a tour you should definitely take.

It was my first time touring Tokyo, but I had a lot of fun. The course was set with a story, and in just three hours, the route allowed me to clearly see the different colors and atmospheres of each of Tokyo's towns. Above all, our guide YUKO's easy-to-understand explanations and smile were great.
I wondered whether I would be riding a bicycle in the center of Tokyo, but it was surprisingly easy to ride and the city is bicycle-friendly. As I was riding, I realized that only a bicycle can take you through narrow backstreets lined with long-established buildings and emerge into a cutting-edge metropolis.
It was a day that made me feel that cycle tours could become a new style of tourism in Tokyo!
