One of our favourite tours in Japan! - Pohan was a fabulous guide! The e-bikes were so easy to use and the tour itself was amazing. The bamboo forest was definitely a must see. Our group was so much fun and we had a great time together.

Very enjoyable day! - Did this with my husband, and 2 kids (12 and 10). Kids both rode e-bikes. Very enjoyable day. Our guide took us around the sites and explained features of interest. When we got to the Golden Pavilion the line was crazy long, but our guide got us in without waiting. For lunch we went to a real local’s diner and our guide helped us to order. It was lovely to take the back seat for the day and just be shown around and not have to make decisions! Would definitely recommend this tour.
