Hop on an authentic second-hand ‘mamachari’ bike and explore the city on the Tokyo Food Bike Tour. Dive into the eclectic neighborhoods of Nakano, Koenji and Asagaya and discover the rhythm of daily life in Japan. The local guide knows the city like no other and will tell you all about the culture of this impressive metropolis. Tips for the rest of your stay are of course not lacking!
Tokyo Food Bike Tour with local guide
The guide will take you through the following sights:
- The Nakano district
- Nakano Broadway
- The district of Koenji
- The Asagaya district
- Zenpukuji river and park
- And much more…
The guide will meet you at the meeting point at Koenji Station. From here, the Tokyo Food Bike Tour begins as you cycle through the typical winding back streets and learn more about the intricacies of neighborhood life. Nothing is too crazy as you explore the city’s urban landscapes, unconventional attractions and most beautiful spots. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a customized selection of Japanese street food, discover Tokyo’s unique cycling culture and get to know local food over a delicious (simple) lunch.
During this bike tour, you will come across places where almost no tourists go. So no big sightseeing highlights, but pure conviviality and exploration of what local life means. Ideal for those who want to get to know a more alternative side of Tokyo. Go on an adventure and experience Japan like you never expected!
We visit typical eateries in the neighborhood. It is important to note that Japanese cuisine often includes meat and seafood, with “dashi” being a common basic ingredient. Thus, there are no vegetarian or vegan options and it is difficult to accommodate personal tastes, dietary needs and food allergies.

52 rate this tour with 4.8 starsWat een geweldige tour, onze gids wist ook veel te vertellen over de omgeving en wat het bijzonder maakte waren de de snacks tussendoor, als je in Tokyo bent, zou ik deze tour zeker aanraden!!!
Our guide was a super nice guy with a lot of interesting information about life in Japan/Tokyo. The route was interesting, passing through the streets of (Shin-)Koenji and Nagano. Parts that were new(ish), parts that were old and parts that were commercial. We had a great time!
Despite the rain, I had a really fun bike tour with Andy as my guide. He told interesting things about the neighborhood and daily life in Japan. The food along the way was also great. Highly recommended if you are in Tokyo!
An easy and relaxed tour. With a wonderful tour guide Andy. Great to see a totally different side of Tokyo.
We had a beautiful ride and the guide told us a lot about living in Tokyo.
We had a super enthusiastic guide who knew a lot to tell us about Japanese customs. He took us to some really great little eateries. Highly recommended!!!
It’s a great tour where you can get a feeling how the ordinary Japanese live their lives. The guide adds great information about culture aspects while leading you through suburban areas, nature, business areas and shopping malls, with nice local food along the way
I had a really great tour! The guide has so much knowledge, nice stores really entertaining in an other neighbourhood then in the Middleton of the centre!
The guide was excellent at explaining cultural differences and was very open to questions. He was friendly, spoke great English, and has lived in Japan for 15 years — which really shows in his attention to detail. I would absolutely do this tour again, 10/10.
