Tokyo: Rice Ball Making Class and Bike Tour of Local Areas

Learn how to make home made onigiri, picnic at the traditional Japanese gardens, then pedal through Tokyo’s streets to explore the local neighbourhood.
Start your day by learning the cherished Japanese art of onigiri making. Guided by a friendly local expert, you’ll season and shape fragrant, freshly steamed rice and experiment with classic fillings like savory salmon, tangy pickled plum, or creamy tuna-mayo. Learn and experience how the Japanese traditional snack is made by our Japanese expert!

With your homemade onigiri packed and ready, hop on your bicycle and take a leisurely ride to Hamarikyu Gardens, one of Tokyo’s most beautiful historic landscapes. Nestled where the city meets the bay, the garden is a tranquil oasis filled with saltwater ponds, strolling paths, and seasonal flowers. Spread out on the grass, unwrap your still-warm creation, and enjoy a peaceful picnic while gazing at the delicate contrast of traditional teahouses and Tokyo’s modern skyline.

After refuelling, it’s time to ride again. Your guide will lead you through a carefully chosen route of backstreets and scenic riverside paths that reveal the city’s many layers. Pass by charming local neighbourhoods where everyday life hums quietly, then emerge onto broad waterfront lanes with panoramic views of Tokyo Bay. Along the way, you will catch sights of Tokyo Tower rising in the distance, the famous Imperial Palace and the brilliant Zozoji Temple.
