It offered great variety in the cycling terrain and route; the landscape (rural and urban); lodging; food; culture; architecture; and more. The entire We Ride Japan staff were friendly, capable, knowledgeable, and so helpful in so many ways--each was a great ambassador for Japan. Making it even better, the bikes were perfect for the conditions and very well maintained. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Doug Walker2024-11-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience riding with We Ride Japan on the Seto Inland Sea and Shikoku Island Ride. The biking is wonderful with beautiful scenery, smooth pavement and nearly no traffic. Will and Tamie have put together a cultural agenda introducing you to Japan. I especially enjoyed meeting Nami and Ryuji who helped us with the nuances of Japanese cuisine. There was a variety of accommodation both Japanese and Western style. Bob Hodgson2024-11-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have done a number of overseas rides in recent years and I rate this one very highly. The ride distances were very managable for the average rider leaving plenty of time available to explore and indulge in the local culture. Evening meal choices (food and locations) were varied and excellent as was the accommodation. Will, Tamie, Nami and Ryuji were very knowledgable and always helpful. If you are planning a riding trip to Japan this company won't disappoint. Michael Faherty2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just returned from a fantastic 11 day cycle experience with Will, Tami and Ryuji of 'We Ride Japan' and highly recommend Will and his team to anyone contemplating a similar cycle tour. Every aspect of the tour was well organized and perfectly executed, not just meeting my expectations but exceeding all of them. Will and his team obviously know southern Japan very well, being Tami's 'home ground' so to speak. The chosen routes were well thought out and perfectly suited to our group and the choice of accommodation and places to eat were all excellent. I enjoyed every fun-filled moment. I feel I not only had a very memorable trip but had a unique experience with Will and Tami giving our group a great insight into Japan that I feel not a lot of other tourists get. Bill Manning2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a truly great bike tour. Our hosts, Will and Tami, made everything so easy. The route has everything (except traffic!) from forest clad hills and fabulous views to bike paths winding through remote towns and valleys. Every meal was a new experience in Japanese cuisine. And the accommodations were exceptional. If you do one international bike tour in your lifetime, do this one. Angela Casley2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic holiday. I love Japan, the food, the countryside and the people. Will, Tami and Ryuji, you were faultless. Every detail was covered. Nothing was too much, making it a stress-free holiday that kept delivering. Thank you so much. Ange mark taylor2024-11-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best organised, loveliest guides plus an amazing experience. We rode thru the most amazing back roads, thru authentic villages and some sub web climbs and descents that are every bit as good as Europe . Best biking trip ever Josie sinclair2024-11-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful trip . Unique experience riding with great group.

The collection of hotels and restaurants were perfect a great combination. We saw and experienced authentic Japanese life, and felt really honoured to have this glimpse.Throughly recommend We Ride Japan as they are very authentic and work tirelessly to ensure that the group had a fantastic time - cannot praise them enough Len Walter2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We Ride Japan ran a tour for our group. There was a big variation in our ages, riding skills, and interests. Will, Tami, Nami and Ted did an amazing job in catering for the varied needs. From cycling, scenery, cultural experience, accommodation, food, first aid to over jealous youngster who came unstuck. They varied programs repeatedly to fit our individuals needs. We were a massive challenge to the team and I can’t recommend them highly enough. There are not enough stars in the rating system to express our rating. Thank you team. Len
