Why Lotus Cycle?
We have been guiding special bicycle vacations for over 10 years, and we value providing a personalized trip, not a large-scale, uniform tour. We place importance on "closeness to each customer" that is possible only in small-group tours, and provide a special experience that meets each customer's needs and desires. After the activity, you can enjoy a stay at an authentic boutique hotel and spend time together over meals, which allows the guide and participants to get to know each other naturally and deepen their bond as a cycling family. Through these experiences, we aim to make the entire tour feel like "a special trip just for you, a second home."

Special places not in the guidebooks, a trip just for you
Since 2012, we have been aiming to provide memorable trips. Hidden attractions not in the guidebooks, carefully selected accommodations, and special routes - these are the trips we created with the desire to "share this excitement together" with our precious friends and family.
Warm tours that connect people, and a second home
To us, you are a companion who enjoys adventures together, and an important cycling family. A small-group tour creates deep connections and a sense of security that allows you to be yourself. By the end of the trip, a bond is formed that makes you want to see each other again, and the next time you meet, you will be greeted with a "welcome back" greeting. It is our wish and heartfelt joy to build such a relationship.

The true charm of travel that only a local guide can convey
Japan's landscapes and culture are filled with delicate charms that cannot be expressed in words. We, local guides, want to discover and share with you the depth and small impressions that are often overlooked. Each guide is an excellent cyclist, but they also provide a variety of experiences by utilizing their own specialized skills and individuality in mountaineering, snow, running, food culture, etc. Through these, we promise to make your trip active and special.
