Saiyo City is sits at the base of Mount Ishizuchi, the tallest peak in western Japan.
This race has 25 years of history and its trademark course runs along the scenic Asagiri Lake. You will see more than 150 carp shaped streamers known as “Koi Nobori” (traditionally flown on Children’s Day) on the course. The race encourages cultural interaction, such as pre-race party and a homestay style vacation rental service. Both are special features of this particular race.
The pre-race party is especially popular among runners and here you can mingle with locals through entertainments and enjoy the omotenashi atmosphere.
The vacation rental is also a very popular service of this race. You will be able to sign up for the homestay option when you register for this race. A few years ago, the race was faced with the issue of lack of accommodation, and since then, this solution has worked wonders for them. Other races are also being inspired by their smart plan of action.
