Urban Area
Not
Bicycles will be removed from no-parking areas.
OK
Most public facilities such as temples and shrines have free bicycle parking areas, but they may be hard to find or the signs may only be in Japanese, so if you can't find it, just ask.
Coin-operated bicycle parking lots require Japanese currency. Recently, some parking lots also accept card payments.
Kyoto also has many city-run bicycle parking lots, which usually cost between 100 and 200 yen per day.
Depends on surrounding conditions
It's the same in every country, but when parking on a store's premises, make sure you take into consideration the surrounding conditions, such as whether there are any signs prohibiting bicycle parking, whether you are blocking other people's movements, or any signs.
The best thing to do is ask the store staff, if there are any.
Local Area
Be careful not to get in the way of cars or agriculture.
