Route E: Tokyo Hills and Backstreets

“Up and down the hills, cycling winding backstreets, be careful not to get lost!”


Highlights

In 2015, we made this route especially for our repeat guests. Visit less touristy places and designe the route with some steep but short hills as an accent. Also lots of charming backstreets.

  • Hills to challenge
  • Local and cozy backstreets at Kagurazaka
  • Rikugien Japanese garden
  • Yanesen area

…and more!
