Kanagawa

Visit the world famous historic temples and beaches of Kanagawa on a fully catered Livelo road cycling tour.

Kanagawa prefecture is located south of Tokyo and bordered by Mount Fuji to the northwest, Tokyo Bay to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

Along with its beautiful nature, Kanagawa is renowned for its geisha and samurai districts, the bustling city of Yokohama, and some of Japan’s highest-quality seafood. Kanagawa is a unique mix of traditional and modern Japan, making it the perfect place to visit on your road cycling tour. 

Your Livelo tour is a private tour, and as such, can be easily modified to suit your schedule, cycling style, dietary, sight-seeing and accommodation needs. Your tour leader, Peter is a passionate local who speaks fluent English, Dutch and Japanese.

A support driver will accompany the tour for its duration and ensure you are served the best fresh local produce and that your dietary needs and preferences are catered for. Peter frequently bikes around Kanagawa and knows the roads, lakes, parks and culture of the region as only locals can.

Join us in Kanagawa prefecture and discover the rich beauty and culture of this land in the best way possible, a fully catered bike tour on one of our Ribble, Bianchi or De Rosa road bikes.
