Finding a website listing bike parking in Tokyo\/Japan turned out not to be as straightforward as I thought (at least, none of my Google queries for the obvious words such as \u99d0\u8f2a\u5834 or \u81ea\u8ee2\u8eca+\u99d0\u8eca\u5834 led to anything useful). Local wards (\u533a\u5f79\u6240) websites usually have a section for bike parking (bicycle and scooters), but they are not the most user-friendly.<\/p>\n
After finally accidentally stumbling on two pretty good sites this morning, I figured I would share my finds with the English-speaking Google world:<\/p>\n
Chu-rin.jp<\/a> has exhaustive listings of bike parking for Tokyo and a few other major cities (Osaka, Kyoto…). Searchable by map<\/a> or by station<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cariru-cycle.com<\/a> (apparently a bike rental website) also has listings of bicycle parking around Tokyo. Not clear if their data is any better\/different from chu-rin.jp<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, both of these websites are entirely in Japanese, but not that difficult to navigate even for a beginner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finding a website listing bike parking in Tokyo\/Japan turned out not to be as straightforward as I thought (at least, none of my Google queries for the obvious words such as \u99d0\u8f2a\u5834 or \u81ea\u8ee2\u8eca+\u99d0\u8eca\u5834 led to anything useful).
