OUR STORY
Ride Nagano was born from a love of cycling, and a love of everything Nagano has to offer.
We design exclusive cycling journeys through the Japanese Alps. Each one shaped entirely around you.
Our story has been years in the making.
We offer access to unique vistas, exclusive high-end accommodation, and experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Access earned over decades through lived experience and deep connection to these mountains.
Why Ride Nagano
What sets our journeys apart.
No two journeys are the same. Every route, every stop, every encounter is tailored to you.
We’ve been doing this for years so we know the difference is in the detail.
Through long-standing local relationships, we open doors to unique experiences.
We are your exclusive access to luxury in the Japanese Alps.
We don’t just know Nagano inside out, we’ve helped define it as a cycling destination and built connections with communities from the ground up.
Small scale, deeply considered, and rooted in respect for the local area and communities.
For us, sustainability isn’t a corporate statement, it’s simply how things are done and have always been done here.
Ride quiet backroads into Nagano’s past. Discover hidden villages, pilgrimage routes, traditional farmhouses, and master craftspeople.
Ride through forested hills, join a Yamabushi monk for meditation and forest bathing. Visit power spots, practise lakeside yoga, and relax in historic onsen.
Cycle through rice fields and forage mountain ingredients. Make soba, visit miso producers, taste fresh wasabi, and enjoy seasonal kaiseki from a local master.
