Kenichi (Ken) Kawamura, Founder and Guide

Konnichiwa! Cycling Japan is proud to offer you the real Japan experience with great cycling. Since 2003, I have been guiding road cycling and mountain biking trips throughout Japan. As I’m a year-round cyclist who rides for work and for leisure, I’m confident to give you the best service from the cyclist’s point of view. I was born in a bike shop and inherited the DNA and the bike mechanical skills from my father and grandfather. My passion for riding a bike and playing with bikes is in my blood. I also spent three years in total in Hawaii as a windsurfer, and experienced “mana”, the spiritual energy of nature in the Hawaiian culture. It drove me to start a career as an outdoor guide. When I returned to Japan, I rediscovered so much beauty in our culture and nature. I was convinced then, this was what I want to do; explore Japan on a bike and share this beautiful place with cyclists from all over the world!

Saori, Guide

Her 3 Reasons to Love Cycling
- Exploring the world in a different way
- Meeting lovely people
- Having a nice coffee time
She loves traveling with her bike, hiking, camping, being outdoors, eating, and meeting new people. She studied Zen culture in Japan and oceanography in Hawaii, fell in love with mountain biking in Hawaii (met Ken and his wife Aiko in forest, Hawaii) and developed a passion for cycling adventures during mountain bike trips throughout U.S.
Cycling is now a huge part of her life. Her favorite things about guiding is seeing the smiles on people's faces while they are cycling on beautiful trails. It makes her happy!
   
Issy, Guide

l had been working as a designer for a car company for a long time. As I was working as a designer, I enjoyed a variety of outdoor sports whenever I had spare time. I believe that we can have much more fun in the nature when we use the mechanical equipments well. I have learnt all my mechanical skills by playing and having fun with them. When I was designing something, I used to look for an inspiration through the beauty of nature. As I was becoming 50 years old, I realized that I wanted to discover and experience more in life with bicycles, and that's when I decided to be a cycling guide. I'm moving to Hokkaido to broaden the possibilities for the future. Curiosity and action are the eternal vitality. I am the oldest in the company, however I believe ages don't matter to have good time. I am excited to show you and help you discover the best experience in Japan.
