Fabulous

Mark_P, Mar 2026
The Iya Valley is beautiful and a day spent cycling on a Brompton along the winding country roads is a truly memorable experience. The trip is very well planned and organised. It includes a delicious lunch with breathtaking views, informative stops at the sights and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and take photos whilst having a relaxed cycle through stunning scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys leisure cycling.

Thank you so much for joining us on the Iya Valley tour! Since we’re both Brompton owners, I enjoyed the tour even more than usual. If you ever have the chance to visit Japan again, let’s go for a leisurely ride on our Bromptons together!

Glorious day

We had a wonderful day on our brompton tour. My husband and I were the only participants so basically we had a private tour. There were a few little inclines but all achievable. I'm 63 and hubby 71 so young people would have no problem. It was a lovely way to experience the valley, scenery amazing. Takashi, our guide was great and even assisted us with buying our train tickets to get back to Takamatsu.

Amazing. Don’t mind doing it again.

Very well organised tour. The bikes were well maintained and the guides Takahashi and Maya were extremely nice. As we were ahead of time, we managed to visit some other places and a cafe were we could feed colourful little birds from our hand.

Great way to experience the valley close up. Enjoyed the experience with a Brompton bike, they were a fun ride considering the size. Communication was prompt and all logistics went smoothly - my guide and riding companions were fantastic and good fun! All in all a great day out.

Great communication and a lovely ride on a last-minute booking. Nice wandering pace on the ride, with some amazing spots on a beautiful winter day. The guide had a lot of knowledge especially about the trees!
