Welcome to Oka Tours! -Specialists in bike tours in Japan

This tour is ideal if you are looking for a short getaway from Tokyo to enjoy some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in Japan. Mt. Fuji, rising above the clouds, is the symbol of Japan and has provided a spiritual basis for the Japanese since ancient times. There are five lakes along the northern foot of Mt. Fuji (collectively called Fuji-Goko), which offer the best and closest views of the mountain on a clear day. Located south of Mt. Fuji, Izu Peninsula extends out into the Pacific Ocean. With its mild climate, dynamic terrains, many scenic spots, and excellent natural hot spring spas, the area is one of the best cycling destinations in Japan. Our ride starts in the Fuji-Goko area approaching Izu Peninsula via the foot of Mt. Fuji. Our ride ends in Shimoda at the Peninsula’s southeastern tip, where Commodore Perry visited in order to open Japan to the world at the end of 19th Century. You stay at a western-style hotel on the first night and at a ryokan (Japanese-style inn) with onsen (natural hot spring bath) on the second night, enjoying excellent local foods.

Note:
*Guest rooms in our ryokan are equipped with private toilets but not with private baths. The inn has excellent communal baths separated by sex with natural hot spring water.
*Depending on weather conditions around the Fuji-Goko area during winter months (late November to March), we may alter the route on Day 1.

Minimum number of guests required for guaranteed departure: 4

• Day 1 : Fuji five lakes (107km)
  We meet in Shinjuku in Tokyo in the morning and transfer by coach (takes approximately 2 hours) to the Fuji-Goko area where your ride starts. You ride along Fuji five lakes including Kawaguchi-ko, Sai-ko and Motosu-ko, and then descend to Fujinomiya via Asagiri-kogen heights, and then around southern foot of Mt. Fuji. We stay at a casual western-style hotel in Mishima.
• Day 2 :Matsuzaki (73km)
  We head south into Izu Peninsula on cycling paths along quiet rivers to Yugashima. After a lunch break, we start climbing hills towards Nishina pass at the ridge of Izu Peninsula. You can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view there. Then we descend on quiet forested roads until we hit the coast. We then ride into Matsuzaki, one of the main fishing port towns on the west coast of the Peninsula. We stay at a ryokan (Japanese-style inn) with onsen (natural hot spring).
• Day 3 : Shimoda (55km)
  We ride through rolling hills along rugged southern coastline of the Peninsula, which include some steep climbs and spectacular down hills. We stop by Iro-Zaki Point, the southern tip of the Peninsula. It is a scenic spot with a lighthouse and towering cliffs, from which we can enjoy stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. We continue along the coastline to Shimoda, where our ride ends. Shimoda is known as the city of the port that the American fleet entered in the 19th century to demand trade with Japan, which at that time was under a national isolation policy. There are many historic sites in the city that relate to the opening of Japan. After a brief sightseeing in the city and time permitting a dip in an onsen bath, you say goodbye to the guide and catch a train for Tokyo. You arrive in Tokyo at around 7pm.
