3h Tokyo E-Bike Tour: Hidden Gems, and Local Life with guide - Starting in Akihabara at 1:30pm

Tokyo makes more sense from a bicycle seat. This three-hour ride links Akihabara, Asakusa, Ryogoku, Ningyocho, and Nihonbashi, giving you famous sights plus the ordinary lanes between them. The electric-assist bikes keep the pedaling light, and the small groups make…

Utilising upcycled Matcha! Creating matcha incense (Uji, Kyoto)

Utilising upcycled Matcha! Creating matcha incense (Uji, Kyoto) - Eshin-in Temple and the Uji River view

The clever idea here is simple: matcha that would otherwise be discarded becomes incense. At Eshin-in Temple, you shape 6 to 7 pieces with wooden moulds, then take them home to warm gently and release a tea aroma. The pieces…

Shizuoka : Mt Fuji Secret Canyon River Trekking

Shizuoka : Mt Fuji Secret Canyon River Trekking - Is $119 a fair price?

Osaka: Bike Adventure with Lunch

Osaka: Bike Adventure with Lunch - A local lunch with Japanese curry

Osaka makes sense from a bicycle seat. You can move from the Japan Mint and Nakanoshima’s old European-style buildings to the noisy lanes of Shin-Sekai, then finish at Osaka Castle without spending the day underground on trains. The route mixes…

Amanohashidate Sand bar & culture e-bike tour

Amanohashidate Sand bar & culture e-bike tour - Chion-ji Temple and the start of the route

Amanohashidate is best understood from two angles: at sea level, where you pedal across its tree-lined sandbar, and from above, where the narrow strip of land appears to float between two stretches of water. This private e-bike tour links both…
