About this Tour
The Tokyo Marathon is an annual sporting event in Tokyo. We, at Outech, offer an exclusive “Tokyo Marathon Course Experience Tour" that allows you to check the course before the marathon itself and gives you the opportunity to enjoy some other Tokyo's famous spots before the event. The tour starts at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku and finishes at Tokyo Station through Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree and Ginza, Tokyo Tower and more. We will follow the same course as the marathon (42.195km). During the tour, and if you wish to do so, you can run a short distance on the actual marathon course and experience the real feeling of a marathon runner.
