      • FORGET THE TOUR.

        FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY.

        Tokyo is too interesting to follow a fixed itinerary.

        Imagine riding through the city with a local buddy.

        You spot an interesting little street.

        Why not stop and explore?

        You discover a neighborhood that feels different.

        Let's take a walk.

        You find a cozy little bar you'd love to try.

        Why not come back for a drink — or, if your buddy is free, return your bikes and hang out?

        That's the beauty of Chari Stroll.

        No rigid routes.

        No rushing to the next attraction.

        No pressure to stick to a schedule.

        Just you, your local buddy, and the freedom to follow whatever catches your interest.

        RIDE. STROLL. DISCOVER.

        Sometimes a bike ride turns into a walk.

        Sometimes a walk leads to a great conversation.

        And sometimes, the best part of Tokyo begins when the planned experience ends.

        This isn't about seeing more of Tokyo.

        It's about experiencing Tokyo your way.

        Ride Tokyo. Hang Out Like a Local.

      • Meet your buddy

        Hi, I'm Aki!

        Forget the usual sightseeing checklist.

        Let's explore Tokyo together,

        discover interesting places,

        and hang out like locals do.

        See you in Tokyo!

        WHY BIKE SHARING?

        Ride. Return. Explore.

        The best thing about exploring Tokyo by bike?

        You don't have to stay on the bike.

        With bike-sharing services, you can pick up a bike

        at one location and return it at another designated station.

        Spot an interesting neighborhood?

        Return your bike nearby and explore on foot.

        Find a little restaurant you want to try?

        Stop for lunch.

        Discover a cozy bar?

        Return your bike and enjoy a drink.

        No need to cycle back to where you started.

        That's why we love bike sharing.

        It gives you the freedom to turn a bike ride

        into whatever Tokyo has in store for you.

        Ride when you want.

        Stroll when you feel like it.

        Stay when you find somewhere special.

        NO FIXED ROUTES. JUST POSSIBILITIES.

        Note: Bikes must be returned to designated stations.

        Station availability and rental conditions vary by provider.
