Running In Japan

The TOP FIVE Reasons to Run in Japan:

1. The best way to see to site see is from street level. I guarantee that in one 3 mile run you will know more about where you are staying than the local residents.
2. Japanese people will almost certainly consider you a henna gaijin or odd foreigner, so do not worry about embarrassing yourself while exploring a strange place.
3. Don’t speak Japanese? Don’t worry…enjoying an early morning run is universal.
4. Speak some Japanese? People will be so appreciative just to hear you try to speak their language, so say “Kirei na koen desu ne!” (What a beautiful park.) Or just “Ohaiyo gozaimasu” (Good morning!)
5. Running is the best way to prime yourself for the beer and sushi feast that should be a part of any trip to Japan!
