YOUR JAPAN. YOUR CHOICE.

OPTION 1: KANSAI CITY

Osaka → Kyoto → Otsu → Nara

Ride between some of Japan’s most memorable cities, following riverside paths and stopping for temples, gardens, and local discoveries.

Explore Kyoto, ride toward Lake Biwa, and finish in Nara with its famous free-roaming deer.

Three cycling days · Approximately 25–37 miles per day

​Explore the City Tour​

OPTION 2: KANSAI COUNTRYSIDE

Nara → Hashimoto → Wakayama → Rinku Town

Follow rural roads, rivers, and rolling landscapes toward the coast. Along the way: historic temples, Wakayama Castle, and a night in a Japanese ryokan.

Finish with ocean views and a ride into Rinku Town near Kansai International Airport.

Three cycling days · Approximately 37–43 miles per day

​Explore the Countryside Tour​

Decisions, decisions. I’d probably start by asking what we’re eating along the way. 😂

RIDE THE BIKE. LET SOMEONE ELSE HANDLE THE BAGS.

This is a self-guided trip, so you follow the pre-mapped routes at your own pace.

Stop for photos. Take that food break. Spend a little longer somewhere you love.

Your accommodations are arranged, your rental bike is included, and your luggage moves between overnight stops.

You still pedal. You just get to travel lighter.
