【OBP】Tokyo Local Bike Food Tour

3 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Jump on a bike to discover the best food and attractions on the west side of Tokyo, cycling through Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya.

Jump on a restored mamachari (literally, “mom’s bike”) and join a group of like-minded travelers on a fun bike ride around the local neighborhoods and back streets of Tokyo. During this Tokyo Bike Tour for Foodies, you’ll cycle around Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya, using the healthy magic of pedal power.   


See the best of local Tokyo, while weaving your way through tiny back streets and busy hubs of restaurants and shops, as well as some of the city’s most peaceful pockets of residential nature. It’s both an exciting and relaxing way to explore Tokyo, with the wind in your hair as you zip away from the crowds, heading off down hidden alleyways that twist and turn.   


With insights from a local tour guide, you’ll explore the urban landscapes, funky attractions, and mouthwatering local dishes that give these neighborhoods their unique texture and character. Of course, you’ll also explore the busier areas on foot, including a stop off for a delicious Japanese lunch!   


Learn about the lifestyle in these Tokyo neighborhoods, fuel up with tasty morsels at carefully-selected street food shops, and rub elbows with ravenous Japanese “salarymen” on their lunch break. This is an authentic peek into life in Tokyo that you can’t experience at the usual tourist attractions of Tokyo. So, climb onto one of our charmingly creaky (but very well-maintained) “mamachari” bicycles, and prepare for a thrilling ride through West Tokyo.
