Let the idiosyncrasies of  Japan reveal themselves as our bicycle tour takes us from crowded urban Tokyo to rustic  Noto Peninsula in the Sea of  Japan.  On this bicycle tour in Japan we cycle along coastal roads where we pass sand dunes, caves and fantastic rock formations, terraced rice paddies as well as ancient temples and shrines. From Kanazawa, the city of castles, to the UNESCO site of Shirakawago to the old town of Takayama you’ll be transported from times of old to the culturally rich city of Kyoto, and staying in Japanese-style lodging and experiencing authentic onsens.
