This one is in Osaka. In the first sequence a car negotiates its way along a quiet one-way street/alley while cyclists and pedestrians (including myself) travel in both directions.
When it gets too narrow, people stand aside to let the car pass. The final sequence shows a busy footpath but a couple of cyclists easily find a path through.

Starting from a 'no bicycle parking here' sign ( I took this while riding) down along the southern end of Kyoto's Terra Machi Street showing how bicycles are a truly integral part of Kyoto's transport infrastructure.
