This tour is great and I highly, highly recommend!! 3 hours was a perfect ride time, the spots we saw were great and our guide couldn’t have been better. He had great energy, was full of information about the places we saw as well as Osaka overall, and knew the best spot for pictures. He also gave us some great local recommendations for lunch and dinner. The bikes were in great condition and the ride was manageable for all ages. Their were a few tough hills, but doable :) Book this tour for a fun way to see and learn about Osaka. Thank for a great ride!!

This is the perfect way to see Osaka and learn history and religions. Our guide (Takuma) was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Gave us some great recommendations for things to do beyond the tour. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend tour

Pat_M, Aug 2025

This was a great tour. We visited in August when it was HOT and humid, but the bike ride made it possible for us to see a lot and endure the heat. I highly recommend this tour to get a little glimpse of Osaka.

Easy way to cycle around Osaka

Ian_B, Jun 2025

Great bike tour of Osaka led by Peter. Easy flat cycling. Bikes hybrid and really light to ride. Great overview of the city. Small amount of road cycling - mostly cycle paths.

A full tour at pace

Oyinda_A, Mar 2025

A great combination of facts and fun. A great guide who clearly knew his city. Nice bikes plus larger helmets are available. Locals don’t seem bothered by cyclists on pavements so watch out for them!

This tour was dope. We covered a lot of ground at a reasonable pace on a very hot and humid day so the breeze of the riding was ideal. Our tour guide was engaging, responsive and very knowledgable about the history and ins and out of what makes Osaka unique. There are plenty of opportunity for photos and rest so don't feel like you gotta be in great condition to do the tour. There's also a e-bike option for an additional fee.

Great day

Great tour, knew all the great spots to see cherry blossums, me and my son had a great day on th streets of Osaka

Please Read!!!: book this tour

It will not take long for you dear reader to realize that Osaka is a biking city. There are probably more bike racks than parking spaces (all hail the urban design of Osaka). That makes a cycling tour the perfect way to experience the city and gain an appreciable understanding of where things are. The guide was terrific and not only spoke perfect English, but had an incredible depth of knowledge regarding Osaka and Japanese history which is supplemented with great materials. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Great guide!

Leslie_L, Jun 2024

We walked to, in and around Osaka castle the day before, and I wish we would have done this tour first! So much better on a bike, and our guide was a history buff( great!)

A ride not to be missed

He even brought a file to show us the pictures when he share history of places we visited. We managed to have some self time to take pictures and walk ard and yet end as scheduled.the route is also well plan l.

Beautiful Osaka in Cherry Blossom season.

Matt is a great host. The tour is fun and light on the biking part. Lots of iconic places are passed by and much of the history is well presented by the tour guide - Matt.

John_G, Aug 2023

We had an amazing time with Sean riding through Kyoto and seeing amazing sites and learning more about the history and culture. The E-Bikes made everything so easy and biking is an awesome way to see the city in an efficient manner. Highly recommend this experience.

Matt is een superenthousiaste gids die erg leuk kan vertellen over Japan. We hebben een heerlijk stukje gefietst, mooie dingen gezien en goede verhalen gehoord. We kunnen het iedereen aanraden.
