Enjoy a day trip that uncovers another facet of Tokyo, making for an unforgettable day of your journey. A small adventure through clear streams and forests leads you to a secret waterfall.
Enjoy lunch on chairs by the stream with our special sandwich, savoring the serenity away from urban life. This moment of leisure is a precious break for those weary of the city.
In spring, you can visit the village of Otsu, enveloped in pink blossoms, resembling a paradise. This scenic beauty is a treasure of the area, created by locals planting each cherry and azalea tree.
Wearing special waterproof gear, you will splash through the streams of a tributary of the Akigawa River, a place ordinary tourists never visit, in search of a secret waterfall.
Among them is a suspension bridge known for its autumn foliage. After parking your bicycle nearby and walking across this bridge, you'll pass through a forest path to arrive at the hot springs.

Overview

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, fuelled 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.
