Really enjoyed our bike tour of Osaka - the best bike tour we have taken in all of our travels. Our tour guide, Matt, was extremely knowledgeable. He clearly has a love of Osaka and Japanese culture that shone through in the stories and details he shared during our 13 mile ride around the city. Bike lanes in Osaka are well marked and it was fun to move from bike lanes to sidewalks to bike paths throughout the day - a very zen and easy way to travel around the 3rd largest city in Japan. Lunch at the curry place also hit the spot. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a lot of fun riding all over Osaka and learned some history along the way. Osaka is beautiful. Our guide was very patient with our speed. Make sure you are fit or you will be sore after the trip.

What a wonderful day! Mayco was a great guide. She kept us moving without rushing and had a really good knowledge of Osaka and its history. The bike riding was fun and easy as mostly flat and a good pace all day. Highly recommend!

This excursion on a bicycle was the highlight of my time in Osaka, I got to discover back alleys, serene environments (I did not expect that from a big city), historical places and modern ones. The pace is great.
Daisy_L, May 2026

Great guide and nice tour! Good cycling tempo. Because of the bad weather forecast the tourcompany changed it in to a halfday tour. Great that they anticipated!
Wendy_S, Mar 2026
This was awesome!! We saw so many places in Osaka on very comfortable bikes with a great guide, Maurice. His explanations of the places we visited were very informative. We were given time to explore each place and had a delicious lunch.
The directions to find our meeting point were spot on. Highly recommended.

Had a great day riding around Osaka with Takuma. Saw many different areas completing a loop of about 20km, riding at a leisurely pace. The sushi lunch that was included was delicious.
Andy_A, Oct 2025
I love doing bike tours the first day or so in a city. Its a great way to get a lay of the land for the rest of the trip and this one is no different. Our tour guide was very informative and took us to many of the key areas of the city. Would highly recommend

Matt was a terrific tour guide. He’s an American who has lived in Japan for at least 15 years. He’s a Historian and a theatre guy- a perfect combination for this. He was great at accommodating bikers at different skill and strength levels. Also he’s pretty funny and just a bit irreverent.
Kendall_J, Oct 2025
Great way to see Osaka in one day! Tour guide Matt was informative about local culture and history and biking was a fun way to cover and get a feel for the whole city quickly. Lunch place was fantastic (one of the highlights) and biking was a perfect pace and hit all of the city highlights. Would highly recommend!
LouisOlivier_B, Sep 2025
Very pleasant and interesting bike tour of Osaka.
Mayco was a very knowledgeable and funny guide.
The tour includes all the best spots and views, and the lunch break was very good. Would definitely recommend!
Julija_B, Jun 2025
The best ever experience to explore the city! Our guide Matt was very knowledgable about history of Japan and he wanted to share all the gems he knows. I felt safe riding in busy Osaka streets as Matt took care the group. I would recommend this tour to everybody who wants to discover Osaka in a bit different way!
Thank you Team! :) Good luck!
John_M, May 2025
This tour was great. We all had a fantastic time. Matt took us around the city and gave us a history lesson at many different places. The bike ride was easy, and we got to see a lot of different sights. I would recommend taking time to look around while you ride. The first half of the ride I was focused on keeping up with the group instead of enjoying the sights.
Jane_V, May 2025
10/10 bike ride was really fun, lots of place and attraction to see. Definitely a good way to see Osaka

Good way to get around Osaka, such a cycle friendly city. I would have liked to stop more regularly and for our guide to point out a few more things. When new to a city, everything is interesting and we did finish earlier than expected so I think there was time. But it was a great tour.
Jackie_F, Mar 2025
We had an awesome day outside and seeing all the sites of Osaka. Active and educational! Our guide ikura was an excellent teacher on culture and history! I highly recommend. They also had a bike for our smaller 14 year old that fit perfectly. Quite a flat ride too so not very hard biking.
Rachel_B, Mar 2025
Excellent introduction to Osaka and Japanese history; our tour guide was Matt who was extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to.

I had an amazing bike tour through Osaka with Danik! He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the ride both fun and engaging. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Osaka in a unique and enjoyable way!
Adhokshaja_P, Mar 2025
This tour is an incredible way to explore and experience Osaka! I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Danyk—his insights into Japanese greetings and customs made the journey even more enriching. If you’re visiting Osaka, this tour is an absolute must!
Eric_L, Dec 2024
Had an awesome day cycling around Osaka with Matt. We had a small group of 3. Although he’s American, he has vast knowledge about Japanese history. The bike ride was pretty easygoing. Only some slight hills at Osaka castle. He took us to some places that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own. Lunch at the curry place was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend taking the tour with Matt.
Roger_W, Oct 2024
I thought the tour was very informative engaging and interesting bringing our guides personal experiences and historical knowledge. It also showed a lot of the city in a way you would not travel on foot.
Tim_B, Oct 2024
Mayco was amazing. We literally covered the entire city in 6 hours. Highlight was the last stop - The Osaka castle. Stunningly beautiful. Thanks Mayco!!
Rachel_M, Sep 2024
Excellent full day bike tour exploring Osaka. Akira is an excellent guide who taught us about Japanese culture and the history of Osaka. A great way to see and learn about Osaka. We would highly recommend this tour!
Heidi_R, Sep 2024
A great way to see Osaka and learn about the history of the city. Yuki was a superb guide, he was knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we may have had. It was great to see the more local spots too, and get a really tasty lunch. The pace we went was nice and comfortable, never felt too rushed or tiring. A fab tour, I totally recommend!
Dorothy_H, Aug 2024
We enjoyed riding and learning about the history of Osaka with Mayco. She was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. Hearing directly from a local who was able to share recommendations and tips was great. The stops in between the riding made the day go by quickly and Marco ensured that we were well hydrated throughout the day. The other family we were with were also friendly and we all had great conversations. Thank you for memorable day that we will remember for a long time.
