【Updated on 2024/07/04】Marathons held in Japan exceed 100 every year, ranging from the northern city of Wakkanai in Hokkaido to Ishigaki Island in the south. They are found throughout the country, including the Kanto and Kansai regions, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Japan is a paradise for both road and trail running enthusiasts. If you are a marathon lover, you will always find one that you want to participate in. Will it be the Tokyo Marathon, Kyoto Marathon, Mt. Fuji Marathon, or an ultramarathon?

If you are not a fan of long-distance running but enjoy traveling, you may also discover some lesser-known destinations for a more immersive travel experience.
