The Nikko North Alps Tour is our highest-rated adventure, and for good reason! Explore the incredible mountain range that was known to be the ancient home of the founder and first shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan.
Our route begins just two hours away from central Tokyo, but it feels like a different world. We’ll take you on a step back in time to breathtaking mountains, serene grasslands, and hot springs nestled deep in the Japanese countryside.
First, take in crisp clean air as you climb to the Hangetsu Observatory, with amazing views of Nantai and Lake Chuzenji below you. Then, savor meals skillfully prepared by the region’s best chefs while enjoying local sake from the rice that was grown in the fields we ride through.

Itinerary
Please note that routes are subject to adjustments during the tour.
Your BTJ guides will be ready to meet you at the exit of Tobu-Nikko Station. After introductions and bike fits, we are off into the hidden forest roads behind Nikko Historical City. Enjoy gentle slopes and traditional rice fields with dramatic mountains in the background. Then, roll into a lovely Japanese lunch before putting on your walking shoes to spend the afternoon exploring the Toshogu Shrine World Heritage Area. From here walk across the street to our hidden ryokan perched atop a hill overlooking town. When you’re ready, meet up with our guides for a beautiful traditional dinner and our first toast to a great week ahead!
