There's a lot of mixed-use streets here without sidewalks, and if cars weren't allowed on them, they'd be great. I'm always worried about being hit by a car on them.

You'll see these round blue signs showing both a bicycle and pedestrian https://i.imgur.com/OzShuC8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OzShuC8.jpg I wouldn't generally call Tokyo a bike friendly city but they do have bike parking lots and more and more bike lanes are being added.
