1) Earth Day Bike Ride
(Participation Fee: 1000 Yen)(Canceled in case of rain)
Let’s enjoy an Earth Day Bike Ride from Yoyogi Park around the city! We will start and finish at Yoyogi Park, riding around the city.
Appreciate the Earth, and Enjoy Earth Day! It has been 20 years since the first “Earth Day & Jambo ” bike ride. Great chance to rediscover Tokyo and share memories at Yoyogi Park. This course will pass through a host of parks while riding through many green areas of Tokyo. Let’s explore the connection of parks while finding natural areas in the city from the cyclist’s perspective. We’ll enjoy getting exercise cycling, walking in the parks, playing frisbee, etc and enjoy having a picnic lunch in the city’s oasis.
