Renting Bicycles in Tokyo is Fun!
If its a nice day, there is no better way to get around Tokyo than by renting a bicycle and going for a ride! You will be outside, getting excercise and seeing much much more than anyone who is traveling underground on a subway. In Tokyo its usual to ride on the sidewalks, so its safe and you don't have to worry about traffic! Being on a bike means you are mobile and independent!
You can easily ride to the best places in Tokyo!
Tokyo seems a lot smaller when you are on a bike: most of the shopping and sight-seeing areas are in a fairly compact area, and its only 5-8 minutes between stations on a bike. From our office near Nakameguro Station at the end of the Hibiya subway line, it is only 10 minutes leisurely ride to Ebisu, Daikanyama, Meguro or the Nakameguro areas, only about 20 minutes to Shibuya or Shirokanedai, and only about 30 minutes to Roppongi, Harajuku, Shinagawa, Yoyogi and Yoyogi Park. You can get to the Imperial Palace, Ginza or Shinjuku in under an hour. The Odaiba area, Ueno and Akihabara are longer hauls - taking about 100 minutes or so. We'll give you an easy-to-follow map and suggest a route if you know what places you want to go to - so you don't have to worry about getting lost!

"We rented our bikes at 11am and were able to go around the Imperial Palace, stop at Roppongi Hills for lunch, and cycle through Shibuya and Daikanyama areas too - all in one day!"
- Daniel, USA

All Rental Bicycles are dependable City Bikes great for Tokyo Streets
All our rental bicycles are City Bikes with 6 gears. City bikes are great for riding around the city. Each has a comfortable seat and with the front basket you can put your bags or anything you want to carry along with you - its a lot better than having a backpack on your back all day! Also every rental bicycle has its own lock, so you can stop and lock the bikes in shopping areas, and take a walk around or go for lunch or a snack without worrying about it.
