New Imperial Palace Run - I've always run around the Imperial Palace, but I've never been inside or thought deeply about its history, so this was a great opportunity to learn more about it. Also, since I wasn't just running, I was walking too, so the time flew by! It was a lot of fun!

A fun Imperial Palace run debut ♡ - This was my first time running around the Imperial Palace. Coach Yuko Suzuki taught me everything from etiquette to history and running in a fun way, so even though I was a beginner and participated alone, I had no worries at all and was able to spend a fulfilling time in no time!

Discover the unknown charms of the Imperial Palace - I was happy to learn a lot of history and trivia about the Imperial Palace that I didn't know before, and to be able to run and walk. The weather got better so I did another round. It was a great review. I'd like to participate again in a different season.

Historical running tour with No.1 geek of Japanese imperial palace - It’s my first time for this guide running tour of Kokyo, imperial palace Tokyo Japan. The tour guide Yuko, she call’s herself No.1 geek of Kokyo, was quite nice. Her English is not perfect but full of hospitality. She is very friendly and very fun person. The tour was about 1 hour. Half running & half walking. She explained the history of Kokyo, Edo castle, and details very well. I really enjoyed this tour with her guide. Absolutely I recommend this tour for all tourists who like Japanese history and running!

It was an informative and fun run around the Imperial Palace. - I've always wanted to try running around the Imperial Palace, but I was a little nervous about running alone, so I applied for a guided run around the Imperial Palace. I didn't know there were any manners to follow when running around the Imperial Palace, so I'm glad I was told about them! The scenery was also very beautiful, and I was able to see many things that I would have missed if I had been running. I was particularly impressed by the street overlooking Nijubashi Bridge and Tokyo Station. I'd like to run the Tokyo Marathon someday!
