Why Shinjuku?
Shinjuku is the most colorful downtown in Tokyo! A world famous center for entertainment, shopping, government, and culture. Some of the gems we will see:
- Shinjuku Station (busiest transit station in the world)
- Meiji Shrine (Shinto landmark in the forest near Yoyogi Park)
- Tokyo Tocho Government Observation Deck (stunning views of the city – and sometimes Mt Fuji – from one of its tallest buildings)
- Kabukicho (nightlife, izakaya, and redlight hub)
- Golden Gai (unique area with 200+ bars crammed in several alleyways)
- Lunch with the locals (relax and let us do the translating as we eat at one of our favorite spots)
See many faces of Tokyo life all in one day!
Why Biking?
Shinjuku is a place best felt from the streets! We will see commuters, salaryman, students, and locals all interacting for their daily grind. By biking, we can stop to take pictures/videos, answer questions, and explain the history whenever we like. Get a feel for one of Tokyo’s great districts as we navigate the small alleys, travel with the crowds, and walk the parks.
Meet our English-speaking local guides and the rest of the small tour group (6 people maximum allowed), and then prepare to see the sights and sounds of one of Tokyo’s most famous centers. Bike Shinjuku’s gems!
