Free: All time
Every Sunday, when it’s not raining, Japan Bicycle Promotion Institute provided 250 free bicycles for visitors to cycle along the Imperial Palace Cycling Course. The bicycles are lent out on a first-come-first-served basis and can be picked up next to the Babasakimon police box. Surrounded by castle moats and pine trees, this 3.3km cycling course is a perfect way for visitors and locals to wind down after a hectic week in Tokyo
