Tim help me out with a bike for the day - and shared some fantastic local knowledge of where to ride. Great service and help - cannot recommend more highly! Here is the route I followed:- head to the north shore of the river and follow along about 10km - switching over to the southern side before the river branches (bridge at route 18) - follow route 173 all the way to Takao station (173 had pretty light traffic - road surface was great as well). Route 20 up to the Otatumi Pass was very special - it was great to see the buildings, traffic and people thin out, as I got out of the suburbs and into the countryside! Stopped and had some ramen at the place on the top of the pass (Fujiya Ramen Restaurant) - delightful. I kept going down and around the lake - explored both sides of the lake/river. Turned around at about 2.30pm - basically retraced my steps. Bang on 100km - such a great ride!

The best men i meet in my life so smart helpful all foreign came to japan or living in japan need any help for bike go to tim don't go japanese shop they stupid and they don't help for nothing he fix my mtb bike wheel amazing i give 100star the best
Awesome service. I rented a bike from them for a bike climb to Mt Fuji from Kawaguchico. The bike was delivered and picked it up from my AirBnB. Tim brought a sweet carbon bike with all I needed (helmet, cleats ...), since I only brought my bib, jersey and bike computer with me. The Astoto SF99 was a solid bike and I enjoyed my 60 mile ride. I also had a nice chat with Tim who was gracious enough to provide me with few tips about riding in the area. Highly recommended.
if you want to ride bikes in Japan this is your place. Tim helped us organise our trip through japan by bike.
Tim is a pain in the ass! But I've never met anyone nearly as masterful at wheel building or as knowledgeable about every aspect of what makes a bike and a rider go faster with more efficiency. He also 100% stands behind and usually services for free everything he designs, builds and sells.
Tim was on hand to provide our every need for our trip from Tokyo to Kyoto. He spent much time with us setting up our bikes to our exact needs when collecting them and was able to provide great detail before flying out from the UK to Japan. In addition he offered a service to transport our bikes back from Kyoto to his shop without which we would not have been able to do our cycle! Highly recommended - Thanks Tim and GS Astuto!
This is probably the best bike shop you can find in Japan. Totally opposite of the usual Japanese-run bike store. Little inventory, but Tim will make everything happen for you. His flagship domain is wheel building (he is the official wheel builder for the Rapha Continental team). However, he also runs his own line of bike frames. Amazing, break-through stuff, and Tim won't screw you for sure. I have seen him repair 5 year old builds for free for his customers.
Knowledgeable guy, figured out my best need and was seriously helpful. Thanks to Tim i got my soonish travel many time stressless. Stop by his place.
