FAQ’s - Fun Adventure Queries, that is

Got a few burning questions before you hop on your bike? We’ve got the answers to get you feeling pumped and ready for your adventure! Whether you’re wondering about fitness, who you'll be riding with, or what’s included in your tour, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in and clear up all the curiosity so you can focus on what really matters: the ride! 

How fit do I need to be? 

Whether you're a Lycra-loving fitness fiend or a casual outdoor adventurer, there’s a ride for you. Every tour comes with a Riding Level, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.  
 
And don’t worry — with e-bike upgrades available, anyone can join the fun! You don’t need to be super fit to ride; the e-bike helps level the playing field, making it easy to keep up. Plus, if your legs or backside start to protest, our Rest & Ride Vehicle is always there for a well-timed break. 

How many people are usually on a tour? What if I don’t know anyone else? 

Capped at a cozy 16 people — with one Tour Leader for every eight riders — no one gets left behind. You’ll explore off-the-beaten-path local gems together, and by the end of the trip? You’ll have a crew of cycling buddies who feel like family (the kind you actually like spending time with).  
 
Wondering about who you'll be riding with? We can give you an idea of the group's vibe and general makeup, so you’ll know what to expect and can feel both comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. 
 
Solo traveler? About 30% of our travelers are flying solo, and they quickly find their cycling crew — no training wheels needed!

I’m vegetarian/vegan or have food restrictions — will I go hungry? 

Absolutely not. We’re basically food tours on bikes (way less messy than it sounds). Start your day with hearty breakfasts, enjoy hand-picked local dishes for lunch and dinner, and stop for snacks along the way. Just let us know your food preferences, and we’ll sort everything out. Bonus? Your stretchy cycling jersey will forgive all the snacking.

Will I need to speak Japanese? Are there English-speaking guides? 

No Japanese? No problem. You’ll be led by our English-speaking local legends — Tour Leaders who are part guide, part storyteller, and part fun-fact machines. They’ll keep you safe, entertained, and confident on the road while showing you the best of their home turf. 

What should I know about local culture, currency, etc..? 

We’ll send you everything you need to know before the trip starts — from local customs to helpful etiquette — so you can explore with confidence and respect. 

What’s included in my tour? 

• Quality bikes and equipment 
• Comfy stays at great accommodations 
• Meals as indicated on the itinerary 
• Passionate guides who know their stuff 
• Snacks and water while cycling 
• All activities listed in the itinerary
