Are there unicyclists in Tokyo?
Also, anyone knows where to buy unicycles there and price?
O man you are totally asking at the right time, but seriously good luck finding people, I will do what I can though to pass you along to some people. I spent 9 days there desperately trying to find unicyclists and I only found one little girl that was probably about 7 years old in a park who I taught how to ride.
Email me at nta ppi n@gma il. com, and I will pass along some emails I have picked up since then and hopefully I can help you out.
Also there is a Miyata head office there where you can buy unicycles, its not a pretty shop (it is more like an office/warehouse) but they have everything Miyata, and some of the prices aren’t bad. It is ridiculously hard to find though, but hopefully I can help with that too.
Before posting, I decided to do a search and I think I got answers… Wife and I are going to Japan for our honeymoon, 7 years after the fact, and I was wondering if there were interesting shops in Tokyo or Kyoto, or other stuff uni-related. But from what I gathered from my search, the unicycle scene is very specific to Japan.
Unless someone in the present has recs? Most of the posts I read were at least 8-9 years old!
Aren’t there a lot of unicyclists in Japan? I think that there’s a unicycle class in Japanese schools
They seemed to have unicycles for pupils to use during recess. Today not so much anymore, unfortunately.
Still, that sign is proof of ongoing deep respect towards unicyclists
