Excursión ciclista de un día de Chōfu a Tokio

Ready for a ride from Chōfu to central Tokyo? This 20 km stretch is a great way to experience the transition from a peaceful outer suburb into the buzz of Japan’s capital. Chōfu is known for its leafy streets, quiet residential feel, and the beautiful Jindaiji Temple—a nice spot for a pre-ride stroll or snack if you’re early.

You’ll roll mostly along quiet roads (about 85% of your route), with occasional stretches of cycleway. The surfaces are mostly paved, though expect a couple of mixed or missing bits—you might encounter the odd path or gravel patch, but nothing too wild. There’s a gentle net descent, with only a short 100 m total climb, so the ride never feels tough.

Arriving in Tokyo you’ll cross into one of the world’s most exciting cities, where temples, skyscrapers, and endless ramen shops await. Whether you’re finishing up at a café or heading for sightseeing, this route is a scenic and low-key way to link two distinct sides of Greater Tokyo. Enjoy the journey!
