Overview

Travel from Nara to Tokyo on a Japan cycling tour with Mount Fuji views, the Izu Peninsula, Nara’s UNESCO sites, and Hakone hot springs. Ride through the Nara region—home to UNESCO World Heritage sites and Japan’s first imperial capital—then trace the spine of the Izu Peninsula. Along the famed Izu Skyline, Mount Fuji rises above the Pacific on clear days. Off the bike, culture comes to life through hands-on traditions. You'll learn the art of sushi from a master chef and unwind in a luxurious Hakone ryokan , where private natural hot spring onsen baths reflect centuries of restorative ritual. Shinkansen bullet train travel links countryside calm with Tokyo’s electric energy, creating an unforgettable journey that balances history, landscape, and modern sophistication.
