GLIDE & SAVOR  -The Ibaraki Spring Cycle Tour-

Through Pink Tunnels of Sakura to the Heart of the Strawberry Fields


Experience the Heart of Rural Japan

Your journey begins at Ueno Station, where our expert guide ensures a smooth, stress-free departure. Leave the neon lights of Tokyo behind for a scenic rail journey that transports you to the tranquil landscapes of Tsuchiura & Tsukuba in just one hour. This is the gateway to the Tsukuba Kasumigaura Rin Rin Road, one of Japan’s most breathtaking and celebrated cycling routes.


Effortless Cycling & Local Flavors

Adventure meets comfort at le.cyc Tsuchiura. We provide premium e-bikes that turn every mile into a gentle breeze, making the journey effortless even if you haven't touched a pedal in years. Before we hit the trail, we’ll visit Playatre Tsuchiura to hand-pick a gourmet lunch, brimming with the freshest local ingredients.
From there, enjoy a guided ride through the serene Ibaraki countryside to the
Mushikake Rest Area. It’s the perfect scenic spot to pause, breathe in the fresh air, and savor your lunch amidst nature. Our route is meticulously paced, including stops like Fujisawa, ensuring you have ample time to capture that perfect "Sakura tunnel" photo and simply breathe.


The Ultimate Strawberry Experience

Step into a world of sweetness at an authentic, working strawberry farm that produces premium berries for markets across Japan. This is a rare chance to go behind the scenes and discover the true heart of Japanese agriculture. After learning about the farm's dedicated cultivation secrets, dive into 40 minutes of unlimited picking.
The Highlight: Taste a sun-ripened strawberry plucked straight from the vine. The explosive juiciness and fragrance are sensations you can only experience right here on the farm. Afterward, share a moment with the farm’s friendly goats or browse the farm shop for exclusive, farm-to-table treats.


A Seamless & Refreshing Return

After your farm adventure, enjoy a gentle pedal back to Tsuchiura Station. With secure lockers for your belongings and our powerful e-bikes doing the heavy lifting, you can focus entirely on the sweeping views.


Back at the station, explore a curated selection of Ibaraki’s finest souvenirs, the perfect edible memories of your day. Need to hit the "reset" button before your return?
