“An excellent ride although some days on the hills were more challenging than anticipated. The accommodation was a good standard throughout. The back up from our Grasshopper agent in Kyoto was appreciated particularly as one of our party was injured in a fall and he escorted her to hospital for Xrays and scans.”

“We had a wonderful experience cycling with Grasshopper Adventures. Our local support person was super helpful, kind, knowledgeable, reliable, supportive, fun, and professional. We particularly enjoyed being hosted at a working Buddhist temple. Most of the cycling was on flat landscapes, except for a very beautiful day of steep cycle up, and then a very rewarding cycle down the day after. Thank you for taking great care of us!”
