Long time (30+ years) cyclist, first time on a guided trip, but since it was Japan and I don't speak the language, it was a no-brainer. My wife (a rookie rider with limited experience) played it safe with a Giant hybrid e-bike for an eight-day 400km trip around the Noto Peninsula and eventually down to Kyoto. She aced it and left me for dead on a monster nine km climb, which was never part of my script! Hahahahaha.
There were another 11 riders on the tour, all mixed abilities and experience, a variety of bikes too but all in good nick (I brought my own pedals and saddle for the hired Giant road bike though). No punctures, no crashes, beautiful scenery, just astonishingly quiet roads, mostly billiard-table smooth too. The route was gently undulating on six days, with a couple of tough 'climbing' days near the end, but by then everyone was in the groove.
Our four Japanese guides and mini-bus drivers/mechanics/food guides/history teachers/language instructors were always there, the pace was modest -- designed to suit all -- but all you want to do is soak up the scenery and take pics. If you want to hammer along on some kind of training camp, this is probably not for you. If, on the other hand, you want to see Japan, learn about Japan, visit awesome Japanese inns and avoid corporate chain hotels, soak in onsen after a long day, eat legit Japanese food, stop at a temple or two, get great support and plenty of laughs, honest to god, you can't go wrong.
Spend time in quiet seaside villages, a thatched-roof guest-house, then swanky hotels in Kanazawa and Kyoto, you get to experience it all. One of the best holidays of my life, no doubt.

We engaged Akira to organise two biking weeks for us between weekend games at the World Cup Rugby tournament in Oct 2019. He put together two outstanding itineraries for us, one around the Noto Peninsular and the other around Mt Fuji and Izu area. Both were outstanding and gave us a real insight into the gorgeous Japanese countryside. Nothing was too much trouble for Akira and "Uncle" - food and accommodation was spot on. If you are looking to bike in Japan, Oka tours is the way to go!!

We recently returned from two excellent cycling tours with Oka Tours in Japan and enjoyed both immensely. We originally signed up for the Noto Peninsula tour and were so impressed with all the organization and care we were shown that we decided to do a second tour with Oka Tours.
The first tour was on the Noto Peninsula while the second was in Shikoku and the Seto Sea.
Each was 8 days in total with distances ranging from 42K to 86K. The guide Atsushi and his assistant Taku were amazingly resourceful and thoughtful, taking everyone’s strengths and cycling ability into account. The daily routine was often augmented with ferry rides and train journeys, thus increasing the total distance of the journey. In addition we were guided through many temples, shrines, and unique areas in cities and towns we visited. Akira joined us part-way through the second tour; his contributions and thoughtfulness added so much to our experience.
On the first day one of the stops was in Wijama at a lacquer workshop where we were guided through the process of painting our own lacquer-wear plate.
The hotel rooms chosen for each tour were beautiful and relaxing; many featuring onsen and traditionally and beautifully prepared and served meals. Our vegetarian preference was handled well. On two occasions where our accommodation did not provide an onsen, we were driven to and from a public bath which was an amazing local experience.
We hope to return to Japan to cycle the Haikaido region with Oka tours in the spring of 2020 or fall of 2021.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this company. My tour of Noto/Kanazawa/Kyoto in April 2019 was a magnificent experience. The epic scenery, the food, the lodging, comradery, and especially Akira's human touch. Such a terrific guy. The final leg of a three-month journey in Asia, it was hands-down favorite experience.

Such fun. Extremely well organised.Routes always varied and interesting from beautiful Japanese farmland to mountains lakes volcanoes wilderness coastline and fishing villages.We even saw Russia.
Tour guides Arika and Taku where perfect.
I was at the back of the group but was never rushed and was very comfortable whereas I think the ones at the front where able to extend themselves.
Always interesting places to have breaks.
The accommodation was great and varied and always an onsen which is so relaxing after big rides
The food was magnificent.
Altogether excellent.

My family and I recently completed a 5-day trip custom trip around Sado Island with Oka tours and it was truly spectacular. We were a group of 6 people ranging from our late 20s to early 60s, and beginner to expert level cyclists. Akira arranged well planned routes with a mix of scenic views and frequent stops to accommodate all levels of riders. We stayed at beautiful Japanese inns and had excellent meals. Our guides, Akira and Atsushi went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our trip. One day it rained, and we weren't all in the mood to cycle. Instead Akira arranged a number of cultural experiences for us including Sake tastings and a pottery session, so that we were able to experience Sado island's culture.
We would highly recommend Oka Tours, and will be back for the Hokkaido trip soon! Thank you Akira- San for a once in a lifetime experience.

We did the 7-day Hokkaido cycling tour across the Akan Manshu and Shiretoko National Parks in northeastern Hokkaido and the whole tour was incredible. It was a small group. The countryside was beautiful. The routes were very well planned with a great mix of breaks and scenic stops for sightseeing. There was a mix of moderate, Western-style hotels, but the most wonderful were the more Japanese hotels with traditional rooms (they lay out a tatami mat for sleeping at night) and the onsen (the hot spring fed baths, which are wonderful to relax in after a full day of cycling). The food throughout was outstanding, with several traditional Japanese dinners at some of the hotels, stops at local ramen shops, and visits to Izekayas (Japanese casual dining and drinking restaurants). Our guides Akira and Taku were incredibly attentive to the needs of every guest throughout, they put safety of the group first, but also worked very hard to ensure we all had a fantastic time. I could not recommend Oka Tours more highly.

This is a well run, local Japanese company doing cycle tours. The groups are kept small, we were 8 people. The trip had a great balance of cycling and culture. The cycling was over varied terrain with some hills but that also means some downhills! The scenery was great as we cycled along the coast and inland. The leaves were just coming out on the teees which gave the mountains a lovely light green colour mixed with the dark green of the cypress and cedar. There were still cherry blossoms too, even in later April. The trip started with a flight from Tokyo to Noto and had two small train trips in it to keep the timing down to 8 days. Akira Oka is the owner of the company and he was our guide. He is fully fluent in English and very knowledgeable about his country. He acted as our personal tour guide to see and interprt sights in Kanazawa and Kyoto. There was a support van and driver with us to carry luggage, fix flats, provide snacks, water. The cycles were in great condition and had odeometer/speedometers on them. We were supplied with an Oka Tours water bottle and jersey to keep. We supplied our own helmets. We changed hotels every night except for the last two nights in Kyoto. There is a great balance of accommodations between western style hotels and traditional ryokans. The ryokans and onsen baths are a tremendous new cultural experience for foreigners. And oh my goodness the food is wonderful all the way, especially the traditional Japanese meals. This is a great trip for cycling and for experiencing Japanese food, culture and sights.

Just completed the Shilolu / Shimanami / Hiroshima bike trip in Oct 2018, Easy to moderate ride with very few hills and fabulous scenery There were only four of us on the trip, which was a uncommon blessing. Akira, the owner and guide could not have done more for us, he was very attentive to all of our needs and a excellent historical guide. . The bikes were great, a unexpected surprise as we thought we would be using hybrids. We were given the option of road bikes. Apparently he has over 40 bikes available (not mentioned on the web site). Akira explained all the do and don'ts culturally. During the traditional evening meals he guided us through all the different foods and service history. The food was amazing. Would highly recommend Akira and his tour company Oka.

Just returned from our first trip to Japan that included Oka Tours' 8 day Noto Peninsula/Kanazawa/Kyoto trip. The trip exceeded my expectations for the route, the tour operator, and the experience. Great roads and scenery with low traffic, Akira Oka contributed great cultural insights all along and was very responsive when asked to make bike adjustments. He also deftly managed different personalities and biking levels among the group of 7 riders insuring an enjoyable experience for all.
We were so pleased with the value we got for the cost of the tour. Based on price this is not a "high-end" tour staying at luxury hotels (although many felt luxurious). And I think that is one key to it's success. I felt like we got an authentic experience, not one that is far removed from how most local folks would travel. A range of ryokans and onsens in the countryside, nice hotels in the cities, and great food all around!
Would I do another bike tour with Oka? Absolutely.
