Tour

After breakfast, we head out for a sightseeing tour to the must-see spots, but since our goal is for everyone to get the most out of one of the world’s most exciting cities, we adjust the schedule based on the team's preferences.

During the city tour, we visit one of Tokyo's most significant Shinto shrines, the Meiji Jingu Temple. We explore the bustling center of the metropolis, Shibuya, and of course, we can't miss the world’s most famous intersection.

In the evening, we lose ourselves in the traditional bars, known as izakayas, in the popular nightlife district, Shinjuku.

After breakfast, we pick up our bikes, say farewell to the world’s most populous metropolis, and head north.

On the way, we visit the Honda Museum, which showcases around 350 cars and motorcycles, where we admire the legendary vehicles of this global brand.

In the evening, we arrive in a riverside valley resort town built around natural hot springs, where we unwind from the big-city madness and ease into the slower rural pace.

Our first stop is Nikko, where we marvel at the 103-building shrine complex, including the Toshogu Shrine, considered the most elaborately decorated shrine in Japan.

We continue winding through the Japanese Alps, passing volcanic mountains, river valleys, mountain lakes, and waterfalls, until we reach the uniquely atmospheric spa town of Kusatsu, where we are welcomed with dinner at our accommodation, before unwinding in the onsen after a long day on the road.

After breakfast, we head towards the city of Nagano, where we visit the famous Zenko-ji Temple, and then set off on one of Japan's most scenic routes, the Venus Line, where we wind through beautiful mountain ranges, plateaus, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls, all the way to Lake Suwa.

Lake Suwa is not only the largest lake in Nagano Prefecture and a popular spot for relaxation, but it is also a part of Japanese culture, featured in films, anime, and video games.

In the evening, we enjoy dinner at our lakeside hotel, unwind in the onsen, and take in the peaceful view of the lake.

After breakfast, we saddle up again and head northwest through the volcanic mountains toward the Sea of Japan.

As we continue winding through the mountains, we arrive in Takayama, often referred to as the crown jewel of Gifu Prefecture, and shortly after, we reach the mountain village of Ainokura, adorned with traditional Gassho-style houses.

We spend the night on the shores of the Sea of Japan, in an authentic guesthouse, a minshuku.

We have breakfast at the market next to our accommodation and take a stroll around the harbor town, often called the Venice of Japan, with its unique atmosphere.

We visit a 300-year-old home of an Edo-period seafaring family and a ceramic artist’s gallery. We ride out to the Noto Peninsula, then, we head south along the western coast, Japan’s only stretch of beach where we can ride directly along the water, on the firm, sandy shore.

We spend the night at a hotel in downtown Kanazawa, just a few minutes' walk from the historic district, where samurais and their families once lived.

In the morning, we continue our journey along the Sea of Japan, making stops at the most scenic parts of the coastline.

Then, we head inland, winding through mountains, valleys, forests, and towns until we reach Japan's largest lake, Lake Biwa. Along the way, we are accompanied by castles, villages, towns, rivers, and dense forests as we move southward.

On the other side, we arrive in Kyoto. Known as Japan's cultural capital, we settle into our accommodation and explore the city's vibrant nightlife.

We take a rest day in Kyoto and visit the city’s key landmarks – at least those we can fit into one day. In the northern part of the city, we visit the famous Zen Buddhist Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the beautiful bamboo forest.

In the afternoon, we head to the eastern side of the city. We see the Imperial Palace, a symbol of Kyoto’s history, along with its expansive surrounding park. We also visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine, known for its striking orange torii gates made of cedar wood, which lead us through scenic walking paths.

We wrap up this long sightseeing day with a visit to a downtown izakaya, where we relax and enjoy some local food.

After breakfast, we head to the ancient city of Nara, which was Japan's first permanent capital in the 8th century and boasts some of the country’s oldest temples.

At Todai-ji Temple, we see the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue, standing at 15 meters high, and of course, we also visit the free-roaming deer in Nara Park.

Next, we visit the nearby Horyuji Temple, built in 607. It is not only one of Japan’s oldest temples but also the world’s oldest surviving wooden structure. In the afternoon, we head east, circling around the Ise Bay, passing through Nagoya, and finally reaching Lake Hamana.

We end the day by relaxing in the onsen at our lakeside hotel.

We start the day at the Yamaha Museum, exploring iconic pieces of Japanese car and motorcycle history, then continue our ride toward one of the country’s greatest symbols: Mount Fuji.

We spend the evening just a few kilometres from the volcano, in the area of the famous Fuji Five Lakes.

We spend our final riding day around Mount Fuji, as the region of the mountain’s Five Lakes and nearby Hakone is one of the most beautiful areas in Japan: steaming hot springs, ancient pathways, and crystal-clear lakes accompany our journey.

Before returning to the metropolis, we ride along the ridges of old volcanic craters, taking in breathtaking views of Fuji, Mount Komagatake, and the surrounding lakes.

In the afternoon, we roll back into Tokyo, return the bikes, and raise a glass to the great adventure behind us.

We spend our last full day in Tokyo with a free program. Depending on the team's mood, we may head out for a joint city tour, but everyone is free to explore their own path and visit the shops that interest them most, picking up those essential souvenirs.

In the evening, we gather for a farewell dinner to say goodbye to each other and to Japan, then we’ll try to get some rest before the long journey home.

We head to the airport by private transfer, with everyone departing according to their flight schedules.

After two weeks of unforgettable adventures, we leave feeling pleasantly tired and with memories that will last a lifetime as we fly back home.
