Japan is a running country and the counries foothills and mountains are perfect for trail running.

Intrepid trail runners can explore lush coastal areas, forested hills and exposed high alpine areas with limitless trails to explore. With a convenient rail system all you need is a train ticket, a pair of shoes and some water and you can be running through nature in no time.
