Rushcorp Motorcycle Rentals - Arakawa-ku, Tokyo

Jorick

If you are planning to have a motorcycle tour in Japan, I can definitely recommend you doing business with Rushcorp Motorcycle Rentals / NinjaTours. Very friendly and welcoming people, who definitely do their best to give you the best tour they can (within what they can control)

In October 2024, so recently, I did a 20 day solo motorcycle tour throughout the main island of Japan, and it was an experience to never forget!
Thanks to the amazing people at Rushcorp and Ninjatours and my newest, now long distance, friend "Dobi" (<-- the motorcycle) I was able to have the time of my life. Overall the communication was very smooth and they listened well to my requests, but what I value even more, is that they were honest in which of my requests were unrealistic. They worked together with me, within a reasonable fashion, to plan this great tour. They planned a tour which was perfectly doable, yes some days were longer than others, some roads were more interesting that other but I enjoyed all! Next to the riding itself, also the accommodations were great, all of them well above my expectations! During the tour there were some small and one bigger problem, like a road being blocked off due to landslides, so rerouting was needed. Luckily this was easy with the supplied navigation, so a small neglectable "problem". Besides that, Dobi had gotten a leak in the rear tire one day, which was discovered in the morning just when leaving the hotel. I contacted Rushcorp and they directly sprung into action, arranged the JAF so the tire could get a repair at the hotel (the JAF was there within about an hour), and Rushcorp arranged a check-up at the nearest open dealer, for safety. This all on a Sunday morning when there where only a limited number of dealers open. Overall they were very helpful and gave great service before, during and also after the tour. After the tour, as I stayed a few days extra to roam around in Tokyo, they also showed me around a local festival in Asakusa, Tokyo and had a few drinks together in an Izakaya. So definitly service above and beyond what I hoped for. I can definitely say: if I have the chance to explore Japan on a motorcycle again, I will, and without a doubt I will contact Rushcorp/ninjatours again to plan a new tour with them! どうもありがとうございます, and hopefully see you again sometime in the future!

I booked a 14 day Tour with my Wife and we had probably our best holiday ever. The choice of routes and Onsens was spectacular. The hospitality excellent.

As a rule I don't do organized tours, why pay a middle man, but this was well worth paying the middle man. I will be using them again in 2025 because the inside knowledge really was worth paying for.

Second two week tour just finished. Did April trip south of Tokyo for cherry blossoms 🌸🌸🌸and did trip north to Aomori for 🍁🍁🍁
Two weeks in Spring and two weeks in Autumn.
Each hotel was excellent, and distinctly different. Gas stations were all courteous and helped fill up. Lawsons and 7-Elevens are plentiful for bathroom breaks. Skip lunch and enjoy the breakfasts and dinners. Must stop at roadside fruit and snack shops for Japanese goodies, culture, and souvenirs. Even though Roger and Dick plan the trip you can suggest stops to go into the GPS. Also, study Google maps on your routes for surprise stops. Prepare yourself for thousands of twistys and blow your mind scenery! Note that you will see snow monkeys on the roadside north of Tokyo because they are wild here. Slow down when you do but don’t feed them.
Roadside fruit stands sell juicy persimmons and Asian pears!
Watch YouTube videos on Japanese street signs and customs. We came back for a second two week tour in the autumn for a reason!

This place is great. They organized a self-guided motorcycle tour for my husband and me for 8 days. We stayed in beautiful lodgings, had traditional Japanese breakfasts & dinners, and our motorcycles were top-notch!! We each had a pre-programmed gps and printouts of every day’s ride. They were very responsive to our questions and available 24 hours/day if we needed assistance, even though we didn’t. I highly recommend RushCorp and would definitely use them again

Got Rushcorp to plan a 3-day ride in the Japanese Alps. Awesome experience! 1. They recommended a bike that was easy to handle and the bike was in tip-top conditions when i collected it. 2. They were very careful in planning the routes. It was unseasonally cold in the mountains this year and they avoided higher altitudes which could be icy in the morning. That kept me safe. They were also monitoring the weather as my travel dates approached. 3. Accommodation were of good standards. Ended each day's ride with sumptuous dinner and onsen! 4. Rodger rode with me out from Tokyo on Day 1 and that probably saved me some time as roads can be complicated in Tokyo even with good GPS. 5. The detailed route planning, providing answers promptly to my questions and access to help while on the road, gave me a lot of confidence to ride solo on my first tour. Thank you Rushcorp. I will be back 🙂

Me and a close friend did the 6 day self guided tour. Rodger looked after us by providing good low km motorcycles, I had the GS1200, it was very clean and maintained. He set up some great adventures via the map. The Accommodation and meals was fantastic and gave us the best Japanese experience I could imagine.

Rushcorp organised everything at very short notice! Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, helped with luggage packing night before start so could get off early, then stored during trip, linking to satnav and general practical advice. Bike was great, route was great, accomodation great. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
