This blog is for runners that live or visit Tokyo. What makes a blog about running in Tokyo worth writing is that Tokyo is a great place to run. I am not going to list all of the reasons why I think so now. I hope you will be able to see for yourself through the routes I introduce here and their descriptions that this city is exceptionally nice for running compared to its peers.
With over 24 million kilometers of roads in a space of 2187 sq. kilometers (Tokyo Statistical Yearbook 2006), there is plenty to talk about. One interesting phenomenon is only a few kilometers will bring you to a completely different kind of neighborhood--from gleaming skyscrapers to tree-lined residences to busy shopping and fashion districts with plenty of small industrial areas in the mix.
In mapmyrun.com, there are already some 416 routes mapped for Tokyo. I recommend you explore there. In this blog I will introduce you to some of my favorites as well as provide opinions on areas that I think will be helpful for you to know before you try them.
