Would you like to enjoy walking on the Tokyo Marathon Course?

[Silver] January 24, 2012 08:30

The Tokyo Marathonrun will be held on February 26 this year.

I think that the hard work of the runners running on the day and the volunteers who support it behind the scenes is also difficult.

There's a free guide to walk along this course in a fun way. 

Why don't you have a fun guide to Chuo-ku? Ginzo also participates.
