Communication and creation with people from all over the world, in the rural scenery of Japan
Takayama city is rated three stars by the Michelin Green Guide Japan. Not only the famous, preserved old town of Takayama city, Nyukawa, the marathon location, also has beautiful rural sceneries and warm-hearted local people. Let this delightful region be the world-wide gathering spot!
POINT

Enjoy The Eve Party!
Of course it is usually forbidden to have an event like The Eve Party on the night before marathon day. But we’re doing it anyway! We believe this marathon gathering is a chance for world-wide communication. By meeting with local people, you may learn about a different way of life, or culture and history. We would like to offer such an opportunity to everyone.
POINT
04
Enjoy local foods!
The Nyukawa region where the marathon takes place is called City of Salad. The local specialties, tomatoes and spinach, just picked from the farm, are going to be served at the The Eve Party and also at the aid stations. Fully enjoy the fresh taste of vegetables which you may not be able to appreciate in the big cities.
