Bike Parking

In Japanese cities, finding a place to park your bike can be as difficult as finding a place to park your car. There are signs everywhere prohibiting bicycle parking, and near train stations and other busy places there are pay lots for bikes. On oir bike tour, we parked our bikes for about five minutes outside Roppongi Hills and came back to parking violaton warnings attached. This picture is a pay bike lot next to the train station in Okazaki (our train transfer point between Toyota City and Nagoya).
