Get Up to Speed on Japan’s New Bicycle RulesA Fun & Easy Event to Learn Tokyo’s Bicycle Rules

Jun 21, 2026 at 2:00pm ~ Jun 21, 2026 at 4:00pm

Japan introduced new bicycle traffic regulations in April 2026, bringing important changes for cyclists and users of shared mobility services such as LUUP. If you regularly ride in Tokyo—or plan to start cycling in the city—this is a great opportunity to learn how the updated rules may affect your daily travel.

Join a free information session created for Tokyo’s international community. Local police officers will explain the latest regulations for bicycles and electric kick scooters in a clear and practical way. Participants will also learn about road safety, responsible riding behavior and the etiquette expected on Tokyo’s streets.

The session focuses on real-life situations that many foreign residents encounter while navigating the city. Rather than presenting legal information in a complicated format, organizers will use accessible examples and encourage participants to ask questions throughout the event.

Whether you commute by bicycle, occasionally use an e-scooter or have recently moved to Japan, the session offers useful insights to help you ride safely and confidently. It is also a valuable chance to better understand local traffic culture and avoid common mistakes.

The event welcomes foreign residents living in Tokyo, people planning to relocate to the city, entrepreneurs, employees, researchers and accompanying family members. Families are encouraged to attend, and children are welcome.

Advance registration is required. Please register by Friday, June 19 at 12:00pm.
