Electric cycling and exploring unexplored areas at a hidden spot just over an hour west of Shinjuku! A local guide will take you on a special route through the scenery of nature and Satoyama, which is hard to believe that you are in Tokyo. With the help of an electric assist, you can easily climb the slope, encounter a huge tree, greet the fish swimming in the clear stream, throw stones in the river, take a break on the wooden deck overlooking the valley, and buy some local sweets. This is a fulfilling tour where you can enjoy the beauty of the valley, nature, and hidden spots that you won't believe are in Tokyo, as if they were attractions. For lunch, you can enjoy a special Cuban sandwich lunch box while relaxing on an outdoor chair in the valley (canyon chairing experience) (both the chairing and lunch box are included in the price). Enjoy the luxury of sitting by the water, listening to the sound of the water, and doing nothing. The highlight of the afternoon tour is a river trekking experience where you wear waterproof clothing to keep your feet dry and walk through a secret valley stream to feel like an explorer and visit a hidden waterfall in Tokyo! Participants must be 135cm tall or above, and can be enjoyed by friends or family. After river trekking, we will run along the river and return to the back mountain base, and the tour will end... If you wish, you can use the rental bicycle as is and move around freely, so you can split up with the guide and go further through the countryside and valley scenery, and even aim for a hot spring footbath. (We will give you a map and explain it so you don't get lost.)Meet and dissolve at the Tokyo Urayama Base, right in front of Musashi Itsukaichi Station. This tour includes everything you need, including bicycle rentals and other rental items, so there's no need for troublesome preparation or cleanup. Feel free to join us empty-handed.

This event is held throughout the year, and after observing insects in the forest (larvae from autumn to spring), parents and children will explore the creatures in the river. On the day, gather at the meeting point and rent a Panasonic electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats, 20-inch and 24-inch MTBs are available for upper elementary school students) (free of charge). Put on gloves and go through the grass and turn over stones to catch fish and crayfish. Spring water and cold water points do not move, so you can catch them with your bare hands. The main targets for capture are turtles, frogs, catfish, Japanese mitten crabs, striped shrimp, Yamato swamp shrimp, American crayfish, Ukigoi, Chichibu, loach, Moroko, Motsugo, Japanese river snail, Taiwanese clam, dragonfly nymph, and river insects. Many creatures live behind the stones and many hide underneath, so turn over lots of stones to see them. Winter observations are easier to observe. We look forward to your participation and applications. If you cancel on the day, we will reschedule free of charge. If you wish to take fish home, please bring a plastic case and bubble tea (battery-operated; only the fish need oxygen). There are many paid parking lots at the local meeting point. We will meet at the market 10 minutes before the tour starts. If you are delayed due to traffic congestion, we would appreciate it if you could consider an afternoon Seesion or change the date. Thank you in advance. What to bring: Marine shoes, change of clothes, swimsuit, spats, rash guard, drinks, rucksack, plastic case for taking fish home, bubble tea What to prepare on our side: Electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats), rain boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket

Three amazing benefits of this cycling tour! 1: Hotel pick-up and drop-off Is it difficult to tell the taxi driver in Japanese how to get to the meeting point? Don't worry! The tour starts and ends at your hotel! (If your hotel is outside the area, we will discuss the starting point.) Of course, you can relax in your hotel room until just before the tour, and you can take a shower after the tour and prepare for your next plan. We can also accommodate starting at a place other than the hotel or starting and finishing at different places, so please contact us. 2: We use an e-bike, so the motor assists you as you pedal. It's a relaxing activity. You don't have to worry about hills anymore! You can enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo while feeling the pleasant breeze. 3: Private It's a private tour, so you can enjoy the tour at your own pace. We will guide you from Tokyo's skyscrapers to backstreets, covering a distance of 15 to 20 km, in about 3 hours, with many short breaks along the way. We welcome your requests. For example, we can also consult with you on requests such as changing the start time, shortening or extending the tour time, and visiting specific spots. Please let us know your requests when you apply. (Additional charges may apply)

Meet at Chofu Station or Fukadai Fureai no Sato and go around 6 spots in the Nogawa River on an electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats, children's bicycles are available in various sizes). The tour lasts 2 hours. In the first half, you will fish for carp and catfish with bread. Even children can easily catch them, but the average size is about 60 cm, so you may not be able to catch them. The pull is strong, so please do your best to catch them. In the second half, if the fishing conditions are not good, you will experience searching the river in waders (free fool boots) or marine shoes. The creatures that can be caught are mainly Japanese mitten crabs, Moroko, Minnows, Japanese chibu, Yoshinobori, loach, Ukigori, black killifish, crayfish, and turtles. You can also take them home.
