Highlights

This is the route we created as our first route when we started our bike tour in 2006.
The route show you the contrast between new and old Tokyo and it includes “must see” attractions in Tokyo, too.

  • Cycling along beautiful Sumida river and stop at one of the oldest area in Tokyo, Tsukuda Island
  • World famous Tsukji Fish Market. The whole sale market is now located in Toyosu, but Tsukiji area is still foodie’s paradise!
  • About 20 minutes ferry ride between Odaiba and Hinode, passing under Rainbow bridge. Beautiful Tokyo Bay’s view *The ferries are currently out of service. (As of Spring 2022)
  • An old Buddhist temple, Zojoji in front of Tokyo Tower
  • A small lovely Shito shrine at Mt. Atago
  • The Imperial Palace

…and more!
