Tokyo
Every tour is private and tailored to you. Your local guide will meet you at your hotel, plan a route around your interests and running level, and adjust the pace and route as needed.
After booking, you can communicate with your assigned guide by email to discuss your preferences or any requests before the tour. During the run, your guide takes care of navigation and route choices so you can focus on running and experiencing the city.
Photos and videos from your tour will be shared with you afterwards, so you can enjoy the run without worrying about capturing every moment yourself.
My husband and I had an incredible 12km run with Hidehito around Meiji Jingu and the stadiums from Shibuya. It was great having someone who knows the Tokyo area show us the best spots to run and see some incredible spots!
Ran this guided 21K with Hidehito in Tokyo and it was one of the highlights of my trip. He took me right past the Tokyo Marathon starting line, plus a string of local spots I never would have found on my own — the kind of route only someone who truly knows the city could put together.
If you’re a runner visiting Tokyo, this is a must!
The running tour was excellent! I actually was exhausted from jet lag, as well as only having slept two hours that night, and we adjusted everything. We completed the 5K, using the Galloway method. We took in a lot of sites and I was able to ask questions and my guide even followed up with an email with recommendations about areas and subjects that were of high interest to my son. I will say Tokyo was super humid in July! That being said if I’m ever back, I would do another tour, hands-down. We saw awesome sites, a local shrine that I wouldn’t have found otherwise, and had a great conversation the entire way!
What a wonderful experience! If you are a runner, this is the way to see the city! We went out at 6am (due to heat) which was a great way to see sites without road/street congestion.
Running through Tokyo is a memorable experience. If you’re a running enthusiast, I highly recommend experiencing it with the running hub!
