Tokyo Urban Running: Street Navigation Tips

Tips to avoid getting lost during runs in Tokyo. Learn to use markings, mirrors, pedestrian crossings, landmarks, and maps to your advantage. A big thanks to Mary for running with me.

This one took me more time to make than expected, but I hope you like the result. And yes, you have to walk back to your camera. ^^

Nice video, thank you! How do you like Japan?

@@JoanMFC Thank you, Joan! From a runner's perspective, I do like it a lot! It's just that the weather now is maybe too hot and humid for my taste.

Are runners an unusual sight in Japan?

[@vmokry]

You can see runners anywhere, but usually on routes that have fewer interruptions, such as running beside train tracks or along channels and rivers.
This is especially common in the evening when the sun and heat are gone. (Japan does not have daylight saving time, so in the summer, the sun rises at around 4:30 AM.)
