Pedal Around Shizuoka: A Hybrid Bike Sightseeing Tour

Bikes and sights

I absolutely loved this tour! My three male travel companions were not as enthusiastic about the prospect of a bike tour however really enjoyed it - much to their surprise. It was a real pleasure to see some sights outside of downtown as well as get some fresh air and exercise to burn off a few soba noodles :) I especially treasured the insights from Hero who showed us where he grew up, where his mate’s cafe is, and where he played mahjong as a teenager. It was great to help imagine “real life” in Shizuoka. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely be in touch if we travel to the region again (fingers crossed!).
