【Shinjuku】Early-Morning 5km Run & Breakfast Included｜Run with International Travelers from Shinjuku Gyoen to Jingu Gaien

Shinjuku at its most pleasant hour — before the crowds and cars fill the streets. Run shoulder to shoulder with travelers from around the world, English and Japanese mingling in the morning air. A perfect start to the day for anyone who loves running, or simply wants to meet someone new on the road.

The course runs about 5km, from the perimeter of Shinjuku Gyoen to Jingu Gaien, famous for its ginkgo-lined avenue. The pace is an easy jog, around 7 minutes per kilometer, gentle enough to keep the conversation flowing without losing your breath. Whether it's been a while since you last ran, or you're not sure you're ready as a beginner, you're warmly welcome.

At the finish, a morning set awaits at a café in Jingu Gaien. Coffee and a sandwich taste remarkably good after a good sweat. Begin your day of travel with a Tokyo morning only runners get to know.
