Cycle Osaka is your way of bringing together three of your favourite things in the world; the freedom of bike riding, the pleasure of meeting new and like-minded people, and the awesome city of Osaka. Started in early 2013, we have been running small-group bike tours of Osaka for over ten years now.

Cycle along a series of pleasant waterways—including the O River, Yodo River, and Taka River—as you leave Osaka’s inner city behind.

Pause in the expansive greenery of Hattori Ryokuchi Park and catch a glimpse of everyday family life in this beloved suburban escape.

Pedal north alongside this charming suburban stream, before gradually climbing into the Minoh foothills.

Take an optional hike to the iconic Minoh waterfall— highly recommended in summer.

Stroll through the striking grounds of Katsuoji Temple, renowned for its thousands of hand-painted Daruma dolls.

Put your top-end e-bikes to work as you climb to the highest point of the trip, rewarded with sweeping views across the Osaka and Hyogo plains.

After an exhilarating descent into Ikeda, relax with a specialty coffee and baked goods at the very Instagram-friendly Canvas Café.

Take a break from river riding near Itami Airport and feel the thunder of planes taking off before continuing onward.

Enjoy a leisurely riverside ride back toward Osaka on dedicated bike paths, with beautifully varied scenery along the way.

Before returning to central Osaka, wander through the vibrant backstreets of Juso—discover street art, narrow alleys, incredibly cheap eateries, and a truly unique atmosphere.
