This tour isn't about us, however, you probably wonder who we are.
The company is owned by Joe Reinhart, resident of the Kunisaki wilderness.
Joe loves bikes, wildlife and kids and Japan.

Joe is assisted by the local Japanese, the ryokan owners, temple monks and farmers who enjoy meeting many guests from all over the world! People just like you. The locals are happy to meet you and show a side of Japan many don't realize is here. The quite side.

It's about the people and the country, but mostly it is about you. All we do is show you how to get there. The adventure is all yours.

Our Mission?

To seek out brave new worlds! To boldly go where...
Woops. That was some other trekking company, wasn't it?

We believe everyone deserves their dream vacation. If none of our packages look right for you, maybe we can help you create your own special vacation. We are here to serve your needs, and make your vacation one you will always remember.

We have "adventure tours," and that means different things to different people. We will do everything humanly possible, and even some super-human things, to ensure you have a safe, satisfying vacation, but we don't do city tours. Sorry.

Be it riding bikes, walking trails or relaxing in the green semi-jungle comfort of Japanese hospitality, it is your adventure.

Our History?

Japan Bike and Hike has been taking clients on exciting adventures for several years. Most guests recover fully afterwards, we are proud to say!
We understand the geography, history, and gossipy details of the area and we want to share it with our guests. It's all in the details.
We also know the roads and accomodations of Kyushu better than any of the foreign-based tour providers (use care when choosing a tour provider, as companies not based in Japan will charge you to fly thier guides to Japan!) which gives you the best prices, plenty of flexibility in choice of itineraries, season, groups size and location ranges for your tour.
You will find pricing for standard tours here, and sample itineraries, which are very similar to daily price ranges for custom routes and requests.

While many tour providers promise "romance," "Hidden Japan," or "Lost Mysterious Glimpse into a Shrouded and Exotic Past," (and I have seen many advertisements more floride!) I will not do that. Japan is what it is and I hope you can see and enjoy the real thing. What you make of it, be that romantic, exotic or just too darn Japanese, is up to you. I give a solid quality tour in Japan. No whistles and few bells. The fact is, you will be surrounded by Japan 24/7 and soon, spagetti starts to look pretty good! I'll try to provide that, too.
