This tour was record with Garmin Colorado 300 and post-worked with Map Source.
In the Shinjuku area there are many big hotels and a lot of visitors and only a few possibilities to go for running. In the most nice parks with temples running is not allowed – but direct in the center behind the big Tokyo Metropolitan Government-Building is the small Shinjuku Central Park. One outer lap has about 1 km. To make the running more efficient I create this running course with more than 200 stairs 1.8 km and 35 m climbing per lap. The course can be used in both directions and it will be interesting to change it after every lab clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This is a very nice area for running in the middle of the heart of Tokyo.
Have fun at this nice running course.

There are a lot of different possibilities – with train or subway - to go to the biggest station from Tokyo - Shinjuku. Use the west exit and follow the pointed way to the really high Government Building. After a five minutes walk you will find the Shinjuku Central Park direct behind this building.
