Overview

Osaka sights, authentic Osaka neighborhoods and harbor views while hopping from island to island on Osaka's intricate river systems, anyone? It’s long enough to get a workout and short enough to make it back for afternoon tea.

The ride starts on the Oo River outside of RBRJ following the riverside cycle path up to the Kema lock gate on the Yodo River. The riverside cycle paths of the Oo River and Yodo River give the rider a chance to get used to riding a Road Bike without any traffic around.

As we make our way back along the north side of the Yodo River, we take in a nice panoramic view of the forever-changing cityscape of Osaka's hub, Umeda.

Leaving the river, we weave our way across the city stopping by Universal Studios, taking short ferry trips, and experiencing local sights such as Tsutenkaku, Shitennoji Temple and Osaka Castle.

Come experience the lesser-seen side of Osaka while enjoying a brisk bike ride!
