The concrete jungle of Tokyo awaits us as we mount our cruiser-style bicycles. After meandering the backstreets of the Tokyo’s residential neighborhoods we weave our way between skyscrapers, overpasses, and parks. But, it’s the areas between the massive buildings that we find improvised street art, delicate bonsai trees, and clever urban hacks. These details might be overlooked by the magnitude of the built environment but with a little help you’ll be spotting all sorts of unique and surprising urban design solutions Tokyo might be hiding. All this curiosity will make us rather hungry so we might as well take a break and have a lovely meal at a favorite slow-food restaurant. After lunch, we’ll take a slight detour around the park that could reveal a new coffee shop or more city treasures.
Weekdays ¥8,000 per person.
Weekends and Holidays ¥10,000 per person.

We will meet at the exit gate of Takaosanguchi station at 10:00am with my Jack Russel terrier dog named “Jacksan.” Our hike to the 599meter summit is 6-8km R/T with breaks for lunch, photos and snacks. There is an optional ropeway for descents if you feel tired. We begin with a 2hr trek through a lush forest following a mountain stream where monks still sit under waterfalls meditating. We will have a bento lunch at the summit (vegetarians okay!) and then descend through the 1,300 year old Yakuo-in Shrine and Yuki-ji Buddhist Temple before we reach the train station for an optional Hot Spring Bath. Teenagers are welcome. Jogging shoes or walking shoes are fine but flat soles can be slippery. Guests are recommended to take the 8:54am express train departing from Shinjuku Station on the Keio Line (390yen) Jacksan and I will be riding in the first car of the train near the conductor. The last stop is Takaosanguchi and you can read this on the side of the train. Hiking Mt. Takao is very famous in Japan so please ask the train station staff or anyone in Shinjuku station if you are not certain about which train to get on or where to find the Keio line train.

“Fantastic day out with Brad exploring the back streets and river paths of Tokyo. Such a great way to experience this city! Highly recommend Freewheeling Japan for tourists and residents alike to get off the beaten path and explore some hidden gems.”
- Lisa Moore ★★★★★
“Great Memories are priceless, and Brad makes them happen with ease and grace. I would recommend Freewheeling Japan to anyone who enjoys having a good time while in Tokyo.”
- James Wolf ★★★★★
“Un très bon plan pour découvrir les rues commerçantes de tokyo et les temples à l'écart du centre ville très touristique, Brad aime ce qu'il fait, il vous fera découvrir les meilleurs restaurants de spécialités locales! Une agréable journée en velo en perspective.”
- Jean-Marc Vendetti ★★★★★
“From the moment he picked me up on a tandem bike outside of Shinjuku station, I knew that this would be a different kind of bike adventure, Boy, was I right. Brad embodies the phrase 'good vibes' more than anyone I've ever met in my life and being led by him around the west side of Tokyo, through lesser known shrines and along waterways, made me feel like I was inside of a Miyazaki film. It was certainly an experience I won't soon forget.”
- Anthony Marinos
“We have done several events with Brad. Whether it be biking, hiking or kayaking, Brad brings an amazing amount of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to everything that we did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in experiencing all the outdoor wonders that Japan has to offer.”
- Jim Small, Boy Scout leader ★★★★★
“Brad has led our Boy Scout and Venturing Crew group of approximately 20 people from ages 12 through 50 on three outstanding adventures: cycling, kayaking, and hiking. His knowledge of great outdoor locations and his smooth logistics around rental equipment, overnight camping options, and meals made all three trips easy and fun. Brad's ability to keep such a wide range of people of different ages and abilities safe and on-time from our starting points to our end destinations makes him our go-to outdoor professional. He is a teacher at heart and a great mentor to our sons and daughters.”
- Mark Burpee ★★★★★
“Hiking and cycling with Brad is more than escaping the hustle and bustle of city life but restoring body, breath and mind while connecting with other like-minded folks in search of serenity and fresh air. A day trip Freewheeling gives you momentum and equilibrium to see others and your environment with fresh perspective once you are back on your business grind.”
- Damion Roberts ★★★★☆
