Experience Details
Japan fully embraces the spring season with sakura-themed everything. From cherry blossom-flavored food and drinks to scented skincare and eye masks, everything turns pretty and pink after winter, making it one of the most magical times to visit Japan.
And it's an excellent season for cycling, too! In this bicycle tour, explore central Tokyo, gliding down hidden alleyways in the Asakusa area, getting a glimpse into the everyday life of locals.
Let a local guide guide you beyond the tourist spots through bustling shopping streets and streets lined with cherry blossom trees.

You can try one from one of the first shops to start selling them in the area (on Mondays, when the shop is closed, you will visit a different store).
The highlight of the day will be a leisurely cycle along a cherry blossom avenue running along Sumida River. Here, you can bask in unparalleled views of Tokyo Skytree framed by the blossoms.
