Guests from Germany, with E-bikes.

bikeTKgardens began in August 2025.

These were our very first guests, and we would like to introduce the actual route they experienced.

Starting from their hotel in Nishi-Shinjuku, the tour included:

• Kabukicho, Japan’s largest entertainment district

• Nukebenten and Itsukushima Shrine

• Koishikawa Korakuen Garden (with matcha and traditional Japanese sweets)

• Rinsho-in Temple

• Yushima Tenmangu Shrine

• Ending at Shinobazu Pond in Ueno

This approximately 4-hour cycling tour offered a well-balanced experience of Tokyo’s vibrant energy, peaceful atmosphere, historic daimyo gardens, and hidden green spaces. Our guests were extremely happy with the experience.

Here is their review:

"We had a great tour to various parks, shrines and gardens. It was great fun to ride by bike through Tokio with Atsushi taking good care of us. Highly recommend!"

At bikeTKgardens, our local guide—who is also a professional gardener—creates a unique experience tailored to each guest, ensuring that no two tours are ever the same.
