Fantastic, memorable and personal e-bike tour beyond Toyama city through pear and rice fields to Toyama harbour. All with stunning views of mountains and interesting commentary. Second half is a tour and tasting of award winning Sake made by 4 generations of one family for over 100 years. Such a privilege to be introduced to the craft and passion in producing local Sake. Lastly a view over Toyama with the sun setting. Highly recommend this tour. A huge thank you to Ryutaro and colleagues for their warmth, enthusiasm in sharing their Toyama with us. A very special trip. Caroline and Mark

We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the e-bike ride through Toyama’s countryside, the mountain views, the sake brewery experience, and the sunset view over the city. We are also very pleased that you enjoyed the special behind-the-scenes experience at the sake brewery. It was a unique opportunity, and we are glad it became a memorable part of your tour. It was a great pleasure to spend time with you and to share the local side of Toyama. Your kind words mean a lot to us and are a great encouragement to our team. We hope the tour will remain a special memory of your trip to Japan. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back to Toyama someday. Ryutaro and the team
