LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Get off the beaten track with our local knowledge
The staff at Globalwheels have been in Japan for a combined total of 18 years. We know Japan and we know cycling in Japan. We will be happy to share our favorite routes and also answer any questions about cycling, eating, internet connectivity, transport and generally getting the most out of your time in Japan.
QUALITY GEAR & BIKES
Leave your bike at home and let us prepare
At Globalwheels we have a excellent range of hybrid touring bikes which we match up to cyclists’ height, preferences and dimensions. Why lug your bike and gear thousands of kilometers from home when you can arrive, jump on our bike, explore Japan then after cycling you can enjoy a few days or longer seeing some of Japan without having to carry your bike around everywhere.
INSURANCE
Peace of mind with third party insurance
As cyclists we all know that accidents can happen. At Globalwheels all rentals are covered by 3rd party property and person insurance for up to 200,000,000 yen. It is now required by law to have all bikes in certain areas of Japan covered by third party insurance. This also includes cyclists coming from overseas bringing their bikes and gear. Once more reason to leave your bike and home and cycle with us.
NATIONWIDE DELIVERY
Explore all of Japan with our courier service
At Globalwheels we offer a courier service for rentals of 3 days or more. Check into your hotel and have your bike waiting for you when you arrive. You could pick up from us in Osaka and finish more than 2,000km away in Kyushu. You could start in Imabari in Shikoku and finish around Mt Fuji. All of Japan is waiting to be explored so best start planning!
