5Great tour, great spots,...
Great tour, great spots, awesome photos and tea! Tour felt personal and would recommend to anyone visiting!
5Great time!
The was a great experience! Biking through the neighborhoods and taking in all the history was great! Loved visiting the tea master. The views were beautiful! We also loved the ventilated vests.
5Absolutely worth it
What an amazing experience! Beautiful views, kind and knowledgeable guides, and wonderful educational experiences await you on this tour. We couldn't believe the value of this adventure! It was easy to meet outside Shin-Fuji station and the guides brought along anything needed for the bike ride. We had a great clear day, so were able to see so many lovely views of Mt. Fuji, historic sites, Suruga Bay, and many other spots in between. My mother was a bit older and it was a very warm day, so they graciously provided a follow car with a driver, which was very thoughtful. They also took many pictures, so it isn't something you have to worry about if you don't have a camera. We also met with a Tea Master, went to the Paper Museum to learn more about their primary industry and make origami, and stopped by a shrine to fill out an ema plaque. The Tea Master in particular was a real highlight, though all of it was great. We were also touched when they provided a personal gift at the end. Though it is an e-bike tour, it is still a workout, and don't forget your sunscreen if you go in the summer. We cannot recommend this tour enough! Do not hesitate at all if you are considering this; you will have wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
5An unforgettable cultural and nature experience around Mount Fuji
We joined Yas for a bicycle tour in early May 2026, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Yas is not only very friendly and kind, but also incredibly knowledgeable. He took great care to explain Japanese culture and the meaning behind the places we visited, which made the experience especially memorable. The route was beautifully planned. We enjoyed stunning views of Mount Fuji, visited several Buddhist and Shinto shrines, and stopped at locations that hold deep significance for local people—places we would never have discovered on our own. Cycling along the coast and through rice fields was both relaxing and fun, with many opportunities for photos along the way. We also appreciated the cultural touches: visiting natural wells, taking a peaceful break to have our own tea ceremony with a local tea master to enjoy and learn about the tea culture in Japan, and even trying origami at a small paper museum. The tour ended with a lovely little surprise. The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, and the pace of the tour was just right. Everything felt well organized and personal. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a more authentic side of Japan, away from crowded tourist spots. It’s a perfect blend of light activity, beautiful scenery, and meaningful cultural insight. Thank you, Yas, for such a wonderful and enriching experience. We will always remember this experience fondly. Warm greetings from Germany
5The best experience ever!
No words can fully explain how much we loved this bike tour. I learned so much about Fuji- the town, the culture, the people, the mountain! Everyone that we passed greeted us! Seeing the coastline, the rice fields, the real Japan was something I’ll treasure in my memories forever. Meeting the tea master himself and drinking green tea - I’m now a green tea convert! Yasu, may life’s finest things come to you; you have given us a memory we’ll never forget. I’ve already told everyone to do your tour, even the lovely lady at the pharmacy as her son is coming this week. I’m sure you’ll look after him like you did us.
5A great way to experience Fuji.
Whilst initially we booked this tour to get a view of Mt Fuji, the weather made that impossible and whilst our guide offered to reschedule the trip, we decided to go ahead anyway. We were met at the train station and what then began was a fabulous 4 hour e-bike tour of Fuji that was filled with history, great views, an amazing tour guide who was filled with great knowledge and insight and a great way to see Fuji. From the earthquake fault line, to the paper museum, the natural water springs and a memorable green tea ceremony with a tea master, this was a first rate fantastic e-bike trip. If you have the time when in Japan then don’t miss this!
