Bike Etiquette in Japan is an essential aspect to consider while embarking on your self-guided bike tour. Familiarizing yourself with local customs ensures a safe and respectful experience. One key distinction is that Japan follows a “left side of the road” driving pattern, so remember to keep to the left at all times. Another difference is that the roads are narrower than the roads you see in North America, even though the cars are also smaller please keep the difference in road sizes in mind. Additionally, make use of designated bike lanes whenever available and always yield to pedestrians. Adhering to these guidelines showcases your respect for local norms and contributes to a harmonious biking adventure through the captivating landscapes of Japan.
