Jogging is perhaps the best form of exercise as it doesn't cost much except
a pair of good running shoes which you can get anywhere in the world. However
if you are interested in buying yourself a running gear then there are a number
of places in Tokyo where you can get the best equipments for running. It is
a good way to lose those extra calories while spending truckloads of money for
that expensive gymnasium of yours.
However the city of Tokyo has its own set of blues, it is polluted, convulated
and filled with smokers. That would prompt any one to jog on the roads less
traveled on the hills and the mountains outside the city, but if you don't want
to do that then there are few places with in the city where you can go for a
refreshing jog. The jog around the Imperial palace in Tokyo is perhaps the most
intriguing running that you can indulge in, with in the city. The run, if you
wish to go the entire distance is just more than five kilometers and can cover
a host of places including the Budokan, Marumonouchi business district, the
Hibya Park and the British embassy.
If you want to run by the side of the river then the best option could be to
run along the Arakawa River that runs on the north side of Tokyo. This place
is easily accessible as you can reach the place through a number of train stations.
The run besides the Tama River is also not far behind as it has wide bike paths
on both sides making it ideal for biking as well as for jogging in Tokyo. The
place can be reached by ease as it is well connected by a number of train stations.
The stations are provided with lockers and hence it makes it extremely convenient
for the joggers.
Besides these there are a numerous locations in and around the capital city
of Japan Tokyo where you can really unwind. Many such locations are accompanied
by beautiful places where you can stop over for a short time before resuming
your running. Most of these running places are extremely well connected and
are accompanied by stations so getting to these places is not a hassle at all.
