Yes — non-riding partners are welcome to ride on selected days, provided they meet a few important requirements to ensure their safety and the enjoyment of the group.
To participate, they must:
Be confident handling a bike on all road surfaces, including long descents
Be comfortable riding safely in a group environment
Hire an E-bike for the full duration of the tour
Have the fitness to comfortably complete the scheduled distances
Non-riding partners may join the loop ride days on Days 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10. These routes begin and finish in the same location, allowing flexibility while keeping logistics seamless for the wider group.
This approach ensures everyone feels safe, supported and riding within their capabilities — while still sharing in the magic of cycling Japan.
