Is Bike Commuting Safe On City Roads? (Cycling in Japan)

I recently started a new job here in Japan and decided that I would commute to work by bike everyday. It's 20km each way, so 40km a day, 200km a week, and 800km a month. I got a lot of requests to show a bike commute route on the city roads in Japan, so today I tried a new route through the city and talk about is it safe to bike commute on city roads.

The river path is much safer and quieter since I don't have to deal with cars, but I found that cycling through the busy city roads was also a nice change of pace, as I got to see many other unique things and lots more people with their commute routines.

Which do you think is better, commuting on the city roads, or taking the river cycling path? What do you think of the busy Japanese roads?
