The meeting point will be the lifestyle hotel right near Shinjuku Central Park, THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku (THE KNOT). At THE KNOT, you can rent the bikes even if you are not a staying guest

After matching everyone with a bike and explaining the traffic rules, we will head to the first spot.

The first spot is Tokyo Camii & Turkish Culture Center, Japan’s largest mosque.

This most beautiful mosque in East Asia was built 19 years ago. More than 100 engineers, architects, and craftsmen came from Turkey to work on the construction. Enormous marble walls, traditional engravings, and beautiful calligraphy make it even more impressive on the suburban Tokyo landscape. Tokyo Camii is a cultural, historical, and aesthetic must-visit.

Please note, there will be no photography allowed inside and as the mosque will be open as usual, we must take care to respect the visitors. Further, since it is a place for prayer please wear (or bring with you) long sleeves and long pants/skirt.

After we have explored the Camii, we head to Hatagaya. Here you can wander this interesting neighbourhood and stop for a coffee.

Riding Tokyo in a group offers a very different perspective from riding alone. The below is a photo from a previous group ride!

The second spot is Hatagaya gallery and shop, commune. Here you can see rotating works from both domestic and foreign artists, and browse independent photo collections and zines which are for sale.

After commune, we head to the final spot. This final gallery is large and infinitely entertaining. Here, we explain a bit about the exhibits and then leave you to discover the space to your heart’s content. The next part of the itinerary is up to you, just so long as the bikes are returned to THE KNOT before 6pm.

Tokyobike
The inspiration and ethos for Tokyobike begun with the name.
In the same way that a mountain bike is suitable for riding across mountains, Tokyobike is for pedalling around Tokyo. We want you to forget the bicycle itself and simply enjoy the ride. That is why we emphasise comfort over speed, and a feeling of lightness at the first turn of the pedal. All our frames and parts are based on this concept of ” TOKYO SLOW ” – that is what Tokyobike is all about.
