Are you tired of seeing the same scenery every day?
Don't you ever want to see a new world you've never seen before?
Even in your own country, a small shift in perspective can reveal something completely different.
Yes, it's the same with Japan, with Tokyo.
The same daily routine, the same life as everyone around me. But sometimes, there are moments—brief, vivid—that suddenly wake me up.
Are you coming to Japan just to visit the tourist spots and watch the other tourists?
Doing it the same way, from the same angle, like everyone else do?
There are so many other ways to see this world aren't there.
I want to break through it with you—to change the way we see our world.

Explore Tokyo’s Gardens and Secrets by Mini E-Bike
Set off on a unique journey through Tokyo, exploring traditional Japanese gardens and tucked-away local spots by mini electric assisted bike. Our guides speaking English, experienced bike messenger and local gardener, will show you the art, history, and seasonal beauty of Tokyo’s green spaces, hidden among the city’s modern landscape. Enjoy the exciting mix of urban energy and serene nature, and discover a side of Tokyo most travelers never see.
Ride with Gardeners who speaks English.
Step off the beaten path and discover a side of Japan few visitors ever see — lush Japanese gardens, quiet alleys, and local treasures tucked between the fast-paced streets of Tokyo. Our e-bike garden tours are designed to connect you with the hidden beauty of the city, guided by people who know it deeply: local gardeners.
Our base is Tokyo — a vibrant city filled with energy, culture, and surprisingly, a lot of green. Thanks to our compact, foldable electric-assist bikes, we cruise through both lively neighborhoods and peaceful backstreets with ease. These bikes are easy to ride, even for beginners or those who haven’t cycled in a while. With gentle support from the motor, you can enjoy the natural hills and winding paths of Tokyo comfortably and safely.
I’m Atsushi Tanaka, your guide. In my 20s, I worked as a bike messenger in Tokyo, learning every backstreet, shortcut, and slope this city has to offer. In my 30s, I became a professional gardener — working in Japanese gardens and learning the traditions and seasonal rhythms that shape them.
Now, I’ve combined these two passions — cycling and gardening — into tours that are both peaceful and full of discovery. I’ll guide you through gardens large and small, well-known and completely hidden, and share the stories behind the spaces. Along the way, we’ll visit shrines, back alleys, and scenic viewpoints that most tourists miss.
We also love food! You’ll have plenty of delicious Japanese lunch options to choose from — from traditional sets to cozy local favorites. Let us know your preferences and we’ll find something you’ll love.
Our tours are safe and family-friendly. Helmets are provided, and we take time to explain how to use the bikes comfortably. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with children or grandparents, we’ll adjust the pace and route to fit your needs.
Want something unique? We offer customizable tours based on your interests — whether that’s gardens, food, history, or nature. Tell us your ideas, or let us suggest something based on your travel style or family structure. We’re here to help you experience Japan in a personal, memorable way.
We’re also expanding! In addition to Tokyo, we now offer plans to explore the Japanese countryside — with experiences like fruit harvesting, vegetable picking, and even mountain climbing. And for those visiting Kyoto or other regions, we’re happy to create private tours to match the local character and scenery.
Our goal is simple: to connect you with the quieter, deeper side of Japan — through cycling, gardens, stories, and shared moments. Whether it’s your first time here or your fifth, we’ll help you experience something new, refreshing, and truly local.
So come ride with us. Let the city slow down, the gardens welcome you, and the adventure unfold — one peaceful pedal at a time.
