Japan Cycling custom trip planning service

We try to offer as much information as possible on our site to encourage everyone to plan a cycling trip in Japan.  But some may be overwhelmed by all the options, or simply do not have time to do all the research. Of course there are organised cycling tours in Japan which you may consider, but they may not suit your particular schedule/preference/ability etc.

We receive many enquiries from cyclists who have their own ideas in mind, but are unsure about planning a cycling holiday in detail and make necessary arrangements themselves.  So we now offer everyone bespoke service to help plan a cycling holiday in Japan to match each groups's specific requirements and schedule.  Whether it is your very first visit to Japan, or you are planning a unique cycling holiday of your dreams, let us do the research so you don't have to.

Our services can include:

Consultation to discuss your desires and aspirations

Itinerary suggestions tailored to your time schedule and preferences

Accommodation recommendations tailored to your budget and preferences

Transport booking advice for the best routes and timetable information

Custom travel guide with tailored and detailed information on each destination

    What travellers are saying

    Thank you very, very much for arranging our wonderful cycling trip to Japan.  I had been trying to plan and organise our trip for months myself, but was unable to come up with a detailed itinerary due to my inability to read Japanese and lack of specific information such as up-to-date train time table.  Without your help, we simply wouldn't be taking the trip to Japan as organized tours were very expensive.  The itinerary was perfect as it was made based on our own preferences, cycling style and budget, and we thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful holiday. You offered us extra advice on anything from packing to cost saving, and the time/cost savings far surpassed the very reasonable fee for your excellent service.

    We had a fantastic cycling holiday visiting various places around Japan including Kyushu, Shimanami-Kaido, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo.  As this was our first visit to Japan, we were unsure how best to organise our trip, but Cycling Japan team helped us to plan a custom made itinerary for us which was great.  We might have given you impossible requests but you dealt with everything in professional manners.  Thank you again and I hope to go to Japan again fairly soon.

    This was my second visit to Japan, but first cycling holiday.  As I went to typical tourist destinations last time, I wanted to go somewhere different this time with my bike.  Japan Cycling arranged everything from my accommodation to transporting my belongings in between destinations so that I could just enjoy cycling without carrying heavy bags.  I particularly enjoyed Shimanami kaido cycling which is a unique experience for me as I live far away from the coast.  I found Japanese countryside beautiful and perfect for cycling holidays as the road condition is generally excellent with varied landscape that makes every turn and corner interesting.

    Superb! Japan Cycling team was really very helpful.  I just gave them what we roughly wanted and they came up with a perfect itinerary for us.  We all enjoyed our cycling tour very much and are already planning to go fur another one next year to see different parts of the country.

    Thank you!  Very satisfied and happy with your professional service at reasonable price.  Highly recommended for those going to Japan for cycling, especially if you are not familiar with the language and culture.  For us cycling in Japan's countryside was a terrific experience.  I particularly recommend Shimanami cycling.
