Best Bike Tour

Megan_K, Mar 2024

This bike tour was a great break from the busy cities of Japan! It was a great experience getting to see the mountains and rivers of Japan via bike. Dai was very knowledgeable and really cares about sharing the Japanese culture. The e-bikes make it very easy to get around. We also had one of the best meals I’ve had while in Japan on this trip. It felt like they were cooking for family. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a different and fun way to see Japan’s countryside.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Megan, Thank you so much for coming to the full day e-bike ride in the rural part of Japan. I was so sorry for your mom that she could not join with you for Japan trip this time but also glad to see you and your lovely dad then. Have you got your favorite Tofu successfully? It was really fun for me because you were the first guest who loved it so much! Much appreciate your interests in our food culture. Hope you still have had a great time in Japan and made a lot of nice memories. Please come back to Japan for sure with your family or friends at any time. Warm Regards, Dai

ETouring Hida Hagiwara & the Countryside

Richard_P, Nov 2023

We had an excellent time on the ebike tour on November 1st in Hida Hagiwara and the town of Waze. Dai was an excellent guide & provide great insights on the countryside and his move from Tokyo. We learned about the origins of the Shinto temple in the village and about the Ayu fish found in the river during the summer. The lunch at the local eatery was excellent and we enjoyed the short riverside picnic as well with the Fall colors. I highly recommend this ebike tour.
