Speaking of running courses in the city center, it is famous for the Imperial Palace, which is 5 km per lap, with security and no encounter with a car. However, there are a lot of runners, and it's a stoic that goes around the lap course.
If possible, the course is rich in change, passes through the city where you can feel history and breath, there are cafes and places where you can shop here and there, so if there is a safe course with few cars
... I don't think there are many people.
A running course centered on the Sumida River Terrace in Chuo-ku that can fully respond to the selfishness of such runners! We run on some general roads, but we rarely wait for traffic lights, and we can enjoy a distance of about 10 km by connecting courses with few traffic streets even in the city center
.
It is recommended for those who come on business trips or travel, those who want to enjoy a slightly different course than usual. (This course is a reference, so you can arrange as much as you want.)
How about making this course that you can run happily and with peace of mind while feeling the breath of the history of Chuo-ku your "My Course"
?
[Characteristics and layout of course]
(1)This time, Hamacho Park (Chuo-ku Sports Center) is the starting point. (You can take a shower (paid) using the locker here, and there are plenty of other sports facilities. It is a complex where various events are held and spring cherry blossom viewing is also possible. )
(2)Take the terrace along the Sumida River toward Ryogokubashi. I will return it once at Ryogoku Bridge. There is also a 100-meter running course on this terrace, and you can also run an interval that stimulates your body.
(3)While running on the right bank of the Sumida River, take the slope on the way to the top of the Sumida River Terrace. Pass the IBM Hakozaki Building on your right and then cross the Toyomi Bridge.
(4)At the foot of Eitai Bridge, go down the Sumida River Terrace using stairs (if you do not cross the intersection). Pass the Chuo-ohashi Bridge, go straight on the right bank of the Sumida River, go up the stairs beside "Regishi Island water level station" and leave the Sumida River Terrace once.
(5)Cross "Minami Takahashi" and go to Sumida River Terrace again (although there are some parts that are a bit difficult to understand). From here, continue along the right bank of the river (right side toward the mouth) and head to the base of Kachidokibashi.
(6)Cross Kachidokibashi on the other side of the river. Turn left at the corner of Seven-Eleven and head straight. It is Tsukishima Monja Street that spreads on both sides. Pass through here and turn left at the traffic light. Pass the side of the famous Tsukudani shops line up, head toward the Sumida River Terrace with the street corner museum of Tsukuda.
(7)Pass the side of a public toilet that imitates a lighthouse on Ishikawajima, and cross Chuo-ohashi Bridge. The view from this bridge spreads out clearly and feels very comfortable. After crossing Chuo-ohashi Bridge, return on the original road. This is a journey of about 10 km around (if you run on the slope without using stairs).
＊There are some places under construction due to the maintenance of the terrace, etc. In that case, I would be grateful if you could pass the road running in parallel with the terrace.
** The high-rise apartment near Chuo-ohashi Bridge is one of the scenery that shines in the Sumida River.
** (7)Turn back to Hamacho Park, the starting point.
** On the Sumida River Terrace, beautiful flowers according to the season color the course.
