By Yukimaru’s Japan Travel ユキ丸のぶらり旅

In this unique travel vlog, Yukimaru embarks on an ambitious challenge to see how far he can ride from Tokyo Station in a single day, using a Brompton folding bike. Starting at one of Japan’s most iconic train stations, the journey takes viewers through an impressive range of Tokyo and Kanagawa scenery—from urban landscapes to coastal viewpoints.

The trip unfolds with stops at several notable locations. Early on, the cyclist visits Shibaura Minami Futo Park, a spot known for its view of Rainbow Bridge and as a popular relaxation area just south of central Tokyo. Passing through Kojiya Shopping Street, viewers get a taste of local daily life and street culture typical of Tokyo’s residential neighborhoods. The route then leads to Kokudo Station, marking a segue as the scenery begins to shift from urban to more suburban and coastal vibes.

A significant highlight is Yamashita Park in Yokohama, one of Japan’s most famous waterfront parks with beautiful promenades and views of Yokohama Bay. The vlog continues with a food break at Elena, and the journey’s goal is revealed at Kamakurakoko-Mae Station. This station on the Enoden Line is well-known for its scenic seaside location and its popularity among anime fans. The entire video showcases Japan’s excellent cycling infrastructure, scenic spots accessible by bike, and how urban explorers can reach iconic destinations in a single pedal-powered day.

For travelers interested in slow travel and alternative transportation, this vlog is a practical demonstration of what’s possible beyond trains and buses. Cyclists, Japan travel enthusiasts, and fans of the Brompton folding bike will appreciate the detailed, on-the-ground experience shared in this video.
