The concrete jungle of Tokyo awaits us as we mount our cruiser-style bicycles. After meandering the backstreets of the Tokyo’s residential neighborhoods we weave our way between skyscrapers, overpasses, and parks. But, it’s the areas between the massive buildings that we find improvised street art, delicate bonsai trees, and clever urban hacks. These details might be overlooked by the magnitude of the built environment but with a little help you’ll be spotting all sorts of unique and surprising urban design solutions Tokyo might be hiding. All this curiosity will make us rather hungry so we might as well take a break and have a lovely meal at a favorite slow-food restaurant. After lunch, we’ll take a slight detour around the park that could reveal a new coffee shop or more city treasures.
