Tokyo marathon
On 27th next week is TOKYO MARATHON DAY !
The first was held in 2007.
The number of applicants has increased every year.
This year there were 333,147 applications for 35,000 spots.
It's the one time during the year where you will find Tokyo's streets empty of cars as the route takes runners past such landmarks as the Imperial palace, Tokyo Tower, Ginza, Asakusa, and the Tsukiji fish market.
"Asakusa Kaminarimon"
If you are interested in taking part, registration starts in the summer.
It's a great way to see Tokyo.
And healthy too !
