Tokyo - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
100% safe, Tokyo has tons of parks and green space - people love to jog around the Imperial Palace moat. There are no dedicated bike lanes, but people ride bikes everywhere (my spouse did), and Japanese drivers generally follow road safety laws, so while one should definitely wear a helmet, one should be fine if they follow basic road/traffic safety conventions. - May 2025
