About local Eiji
13 September 2025
Great experience!

Eiji was knowledgeable and took us on a very carefully thought out tour. The bike riding was easy and even though it was a hot day most of the ride was shady and the riding meant there was a good breeze. It was a lot of fun riding down tiny streets and discovering new areas. Eiji is an excellent guide.
