Let
Us Show You Japan’s Natural Beauty by Bicycle
Many people picture Japan as a country filled with crowded cities
like Tokyo and high-tech car factories where robots work super accurately.
The famous Golden Pavilion, the rock gardens and Geisha strolling
through the streets of Kyoto may also come up to your mind. But wait!
Japan is not just about the modernity and the tradition! Just a short
drive or train ride takes you out of a big city to numerous rural
roads perfectly suited for cycling and forest trails that used by
people who lived in the hills. It is a little-known fact that Japan
has quite rich natural resources - 70% of Japan’s land is mountains
and hills, 10% is agricultural land, and 3% is rivers and lakes. Being
a small island country, Japan has got everything within short distances.
From the mountains to the rivers, and onto the ocean, the
constantly changing scenery will convince you Japan is one of the
best cycling destinations in Asia! Japan is also blessed
with abundant natural hot springs, the bountiful sea as well as the
mountains, which we believe make the cycle touring so culturally interesting
in this country. Come and join our tours to see a side of Japan you
never knew existed.

Environment
Cycling is an environmentally friendly form of travel that helps
us appreciate the beauty of the nature. Our desire is to provide
people of any age and ability with opportunities to experience
the joy of cycling as well as to help define our relationship
with the nature. We recognise that by providing our support
vehicle, we cannot be 100% eco-friendly, however, we are continually
working to minimise the impact of our operations. |
 |
|
Responsibility
The natural environment we work and play in is very
vulnerable to human activities, and we also become vulnerable
by exposing ourselves to possible injuries and other unexpected
events in the outdoor settings. As outdoor enthusiasts, we recognise
our responsibilities to respect the fragile ecosystem we are
part of and to protect equal outdoor opportunities for future
generations. We are working very closely with the industry to
promote consistent professionalism and safety standards to achieve
our goals. |

Community
We believe our operation of bike trips can positively
contribute to the enhancement of the local communities we visit.
Our commitment includes working together with and supporting
local guides, supplying locally produced food as riding snacks
and lunches, and paying visits to locally owned onsen facilities,
restaurants and shops. We are hopeful that the little efforts
we are making eventually benefit the local businesses financially,
and also facilitate the interaction between the local people
and our clients. |

Friendship
Aloha Biketrip believes in our ability to help you
strengthen your relationship with the nature through bike riding.
We often find that engaging in the common activity also helps
people form lasting friendships. Our guides, with the Aloha
spirit, are always willing to help build a bridge of friendship,
and we find this part of our job very special and meaningful.
