Offered in: English

This tour offers a unique day trip from central Tokyo, revealing a side of the city unknown to many foreign tourists. In the upper reaches of the Tama and Akigawa Rivers, you'll discover Tokyo's historical connection to Edo, fueled by charcoal burning and forestry. This tour promises a deeper insight into Tokyo, combining fun, culinary delights, and relaxation into an unforgettable experience. Starting just an hour by train from the city, your adventure begins with an electric bike ride from Tokyo Urayama Base, the gateway to the Akigawa Valley. You'll cycle along the river, explore ancient temples, sample local foods, and enjoy lunch by a secluded riverside. The highlight is a walk through the river in waterproof gear to a hidden waterfall, followed by a soothing footbath in a hot spring. This tour is a comprehensive way to experience Tokyo's natural beauty, rural landscapes, and hot springs in just one day.
